Hello,
I've got a version 1.7 PDF that I'm trying to get the AcroFields out of, 
merge XFA data into it, and save it.  If I save the PDF as an Acrobat 7 
(static or dynamic) PDF in LiveCycle Designer 8.0 I can merge fine.  If 
I save it as an Acrobat 8 PDF the result from PdfStamper.getAcroFields() 
seems to be empty and my resulting PDF does not have the any of the 
fields filled in.

Is this an existing limitation of iText and PDF version 1.7 or should 
the code look different?  Thanks very much for any help.

The code:

// inputDataElement is the xfa:data element from an existing XDP file

PdfReader inputReader = new PdfReader( "input.pdf" );

File tempPdfFile = File.createTempFile( "sd", ".pdf" );
FileOutputStream tempPdfOutputStream = new FileOutputStream( tempPdfFile );
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper( inputReader, tempPdfOutputStream );

AcroFields fields = pdfStamper.getAcroFields();
fields.mergeXfaData( inputDataElement );

pdfStamper.close();
tempPdfOutputStream.close();
