if changing a PDF extended form with non Adobe tools will be or not a

I don't know for sure, but iText doesn't change the original form.
It doesn't decrypt/encrypt the 'signature' that 'enables' the form.
All iText does, is adding extra information at the end of the file,
as described in the PDF Reference.
Right - which is what Acrobat/Reader itself do when you fill in and
save the form.
Adobe may consider this as a loophole,
Nope - by design.
and it doesn't really matter, since you'd fill in the form
regardless of the Reader Extensions.
Definitly, Adobe needs a library like iText in their LiveCycle
solution,
Adobe already includes iText in every copy of LiveCycle, as we use
it for a few very specific features. We just don't expose the .jar
files for use by anyone else.
