> Key: PDFBOX-3809
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3809
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 2.0.5, 2.0.6, 2.0.7
> Reporter: Cristin Donaher
> Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: Example of fields that need to enter and the calculated

> Thanks for the excellent PDF library. For my use case I need to flatten a
> subset of the AcroForm fields. I was attempting to use the
> PDAcroForm.flatten call, passing in my field list. However, after the method
> is called, all the fields are gone.
> The method itself appears to remove all PDFAnnotationWidgets from each page
> and at the end clears the acroform's field set.
> Is the javadoc description (This will flatten the specified form fields.)
> just misleading? Could a flatten call for a subset of fields be added?
> Thanks
