Hello. Thanks for your reply.
I've also found this related thread about the issue: http://www.coderanch.com/t/637067/open-source/PDFBox-save Do you know where I can find any example about the stream appearance modification? For my project, I have to use released software. It's not extremely urgent because those comb fields are only a small part of the application, but it would be nice to have at least a provisional solution in a short term.
