Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-3262:
----------------------------------------
added question. How shall we deal with {{NoView}} and {{Print}} flags? One
might want to flatten for printing and/or viewing.
> 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!
