        Currently, you can't - unless you want to build the form from 
scratch each time.

        I am working on adding the necessary framework to iText to 
allow this and other types of PDF manipulation.  But it won't be done 
for a bit...

        What kind of "wrapper classes"?

        This is a known issue with how Acro5 treats forms differently 
than Acro4 - most especially in the area of form field appearances.

        Actually it is - or at least there are now differences. 
Details are in the PDF 1.4 specification.
