There are two problems: Acrobat and iText. For Acrobat you must create your fields with the right codepage and I suspect that only in the eastern Acrobat version you can do that. In any case the fields you have are winansi encoded and will never show polish characters. You can see the polish characters when you type courtesy of windows but when you leave the field only the characters supported by the field codepage remain. If the field was correctly created in Acrobat it would use an Unicode encoding and iText doesn't support it. If, on the other hand, the field was created with iText it could be created with an ISO-8859-2 encoding and would work in iText and in Acrobat. Confused?
