Look like they are not generating the appearances. Call 
AcroFields.regenerateField() for each field to regenerate the appearances and 
make flattening working.

Subject: [iText-questions] Form Flattening

Hi All,

I have an issue with attempting to flatten forms where the data is 
disappearing. If I open the original form in Adobe Reader, fill it in 
and save it, I have no problem flattening it.

However when our end clients are filling them in and return them to us, 
flattening them with iText results in the data disappearing. I can 
flatten the PDF with Nitro PDF Reader and it has no issues with it so 
I'm wondering what I could be missing in my iText usage as all the 
examples I've seen just point to setFormFlattening( true ).

Can any experts point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Andy
