I am using partial form flattening. Sorry, should have included the code
snippet in the previous post. The field that I'm flattening looses the
pre-populated value and not the rest of the fields on the form. I need to
keep the pre-populated value in the flattened form field as well.

public static void main(String[] args)
{
        try
        {
                FileInputStream pdf_fis = new FileInputStream("C:/Documents and
Settings/My Documents/China.pdf");
                FileOutputStream pdf_fos = new FileOutputStream("C:/Documents
and Settings/Filled_China_NEW.pdf");

                PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdf_fis);
                PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, pdf_fos);

                AcroFields form = stamp.getAcroFields();
                form.setGenerateAppearances(false);

                form.setField("Text1", "Test Value");
                form.setField("Text2", "Test Value");
                form.setField("Text3", "Test Value");

                form.setFieldProperty("Text2",
"setfflags",PdfFormField.FF_READ_ONLY, null);
                stamp.setFormFlattening(true);
            stamp.partialFormFlattening("Text2");

                stamp.close();
         }
        catch(Exception de)
        {
                 de.printStackTrace();
        }
}
