That's incorrect. Every new version of the PDF format is backwards 
compatible.
Forms that are made with Adobe Acrobat Pro are AcroForms.
But maybe you are confused by a new product that ships with Adobe 
Acrobat Pro:
LiveCycle Designer. If you create a form with LiveCycle Designer, it is 
not an AcroForm,
but an XFA form.

I think you are mixing PDF, the Page Description Language, with Acrobat,
the tool from Adobe and LiveCycle Designer, the tool that ships with 
Acrobat Pro.

That's because you have a PDF with an XFA form,
not with an AcroForm. There will be limited XFA functionality
in iText soon.
