Christian Brandt updated PDFBOX-3262:
-------------------------------------
Attachment: hidden_fields.pdf
A test document that can be used to reproduce the bug. Both fields are
prefilled so just call PDAcroForm.flatten() and see that both fields are
visible in the result. (only one should be).
> AcroForm flattening will cause hidden fields become visible

> 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!
