Mathieu, doing
> stamper.getReader().removeAnnotations(); > stamper.getReader().removeFields(); > stamper.getReader().removeUnusedObjects(); > [...] > stamper.setFormFlattening(true); > stamper.setFullCompression(); > stamper.close(); is a bad idea because you at the same time tell the stamper to eventually flatten a form and remove the information concerning the form fields. Thus, no wonder you get a corrupt document after the form is flattened based on removed objects. I would propose to do all that in two steps, first stamp with form flattening and store the result (in memory if possible), then read it again, remove unused objects in a second stamping. The background: PdfReader.removeUnusedObjects can only remove objects unused in the PDF as present then in the reader, but the form flattening happens during stamping, actually at the very end of it, while closing the stamper.
