Hello,

I have a PDF with Acrobat extended features, which has a form.  I have a
program using PDFBox which adds data to certain fields in the form and
saves it. The partially filled in form is sent to user who then fills in
the remaining forms.

The problem I am facing is that when the above is done, the PDF is
flattened and the form fields (coloring etc) are gone. Acrobat also shows a
warning that the document's extended features are not available since the
document was modified.

Is there a way with PDFBox to add data to this kind of form while keeping
the form fields available for manual entry later?

(By the way, I noticed such a thing is possible with iText,
http://support.itextpdf.com/node/6. )

Thanks,
Peter
