Hi, Thank you for offering to help!
> Also: you didn't provide the PDF, XML and JAVA files Unfortunately I can't provide the PDF and XML publicly. I could send you a copy to an individual mailadress, though. The java is really not much more than what I have posted. I have uploaded the two simple Java files to: http://www.marian-aldenhoevel.de/tmp/DumpXFA.java http://www.marian-aldenhoevel.de/tmp/Seal.java Jars compiled from that source are in: http://www.marian-aldenhoevel.de/tmp/dumpxfa.java http://www.marian-aldenhoevel.de/tmp/seal.jar For testing I run it somewhat like this. Starting from a file: input.pdf I do: java -jar dumpxfa.jar input.pdf > input.xfa And get: input.xfa I inspect that, mhm xml, makes sense, and then copy it to input.new.xfa and edit it. Then I do: java -jar seal.jar input.pdf > output.pdf Currently I get a output.pdf that has changed a bit. So it is processed in some way. The size is different for instance. But the XML did not get replaced. No matter what changes I make to the input.new.xfa, they never make it into the final PDF. In the extreme case I deleted all from the XML file but the document element (expecting the result to be totally broken of course). The resulting PDF still is the same size and looks unchanged.
