the PDDocument you get is the same as the PDDocument you set when calling the constructor. So as long as you make sure you are still referencing the same then you're fine.
What I mean is that one could do something along the lines of PDDocument pdDocument = new PDDocument(); PDAcroForm acroForm = new PDAcroForm(pdDocument); pdDocument = new PDDocument(); Obviously now pdDocument is no longer the same as acroForm.getDocument(); We would like to get rid of the access from PDAcroForm so don't count on the availability of the API - which is why it's not considered to be public.
