Dear Maruan, sorry for a delay of 2 month, but in the meantime, I found that I was wrong and it is not a PDF-1.7 problem that I am facing. It's a problem with XFA-Forms vs. AcroForms. Because it looks like you are a specialist in this area, could you please help me with two questions: 1. Is it possible (hopefully not) to mix AcroForms and XFA in one PDF? I ask this because I have one PDF here that looks like this is possible. 2. More important to know for me is if there is a way to flatten XFA PDF's with PDFBox? It looks like itext could do this, but because I am already using PDFBox, I would like to stay with it. Greetings and thanks Kai -- Kai Hofmann EMail: [email protected] Bremen/Germany

PDDocument.load or PDDocument.loadNonSeq? Could you upload a sample PDF to a public location so we can take a look at the file itself?
