Do I understand correctly then: no matter whether static or dynamic, try to
pull data from XFA; if that doesn't exist, fall back to the AcroForm?
{quote}
if you'd like to replicate Adobe Reader/Acrobat behavior - yes. BTW don't know
what will happen with PDF 2.0 as there XFA is deprecated which might have an
implication for future versions.
{quote}
Also, is there an obvious way to determine static vs. dynamic aside from
checking to see if there are fields in the AcroForm?
{quote}
there is {{PDAcroForm.xfaIsDynamic()}} which will give you the information
(which checks if there is XFA and no AcroForm fields)
