Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-4652:
----------------------------------------
if the PDF is a *static* XFA based form, then there are AcroForm fields which
we could flatten. If the PDF is a *dynamic* PDF based form, then there are no
AcroForm fields. The PDF you see is in fact not really one but generated on the
fly by rendering the XFA, the data contained and the logic to a dynamic
document. As Tilman pointed out one culd print it using Adobe Reader or - if
you need to convert it to a static representation automatically - you could use
an XFA aware formatter. There are only commercial tools available to achieve
this so a licensing fee applies.
