----------------------------------------
Summary: AcroForm flattening will cause hidden fields become
visible
Key: PDFBOX-3262
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3262
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: AcroForm
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Christian Brandt
Hi!
When I flatten a pdf file containing both visible and hidden fields, the hidden
ones surprisingly become visible. I believe that the hidden ones should be kept
hidden, e.g. by dropping them completely before flattening.
I made a workaround which removes hidden fields from the document before
flattening but it would make sense that the library would do this
automatically, and therefore I suspect that this is a bug.
Cheers!
