It _IS_ possible to fill in a PDF that has been "Reader Enabled" w/o
violating the rights - but it MUST be done in a very specific fashion
using "append mode" on the source PDF AND only modifying a limited
number of objects in the PDF.
So yes, if you are going to create a whole new PDF - you'll break the
"Reader Enabling". If you're careful about what you do, and how you
do it, you CAN accomplish your goal.

I have a PDF containing an XFA form; isXfaPresent() == true. The

in the form can be filled, and the form can be saved by Reader to
the file system.
Using iText I have read in the PDF, obtained the XfaForm, changed
values in the XML Document, and written a new PDF to the file system.
The PDF I write out contains the values I put into the XML, but the
rights to save the PDF from Reader have been lost. Is this
expected? Other features of the original PDF are also lost in the
newly-written PDF.
I wrote the changed PDF to a new file. If this is the reason the
save rights were lost, is there a way I can modify the existing PDF
in place so that the rights to save the file from Adobe Reader are
maintained?
