You need to do your form filling BEFORE the PDF is "Reader Enabled".

In adobe professional 8.0, there is a setting called: Enable Usage
rights in adobe reader. This setting allows you to create a pdf
document so a person can enter data into the pdf and save it.
If I populate the pdf document using the setnodetext method below,
the populate method works; however, the document seems to lose the
ability for a user to type in data into the document and resave it.
Here's what I'm trying to do. The code below will populate some
basic fields on a pdf. The pdf will be sent to a user that will
add additional text in the pdf. He will save the pdf with the data
he entered; however, the save option is lost. Any ideas?
Sample code:
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(sourcefilename);
stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, File.Create(base.NewFileName));
AcroFields form = stamp.AcroFields;
XfaForm xfaForm = form.Xfa;
XmlNode internalIdNode;
internalIdNode = xfaForm.FindDatasetsNode("firstname");
xfaForm.SetNodeText(internalIdNode, "john doe");
stamp.FormFlattening = false ;
stamp.Close();
Thanks...
