I've seen this before. You have a file with fields in the pages but nothing in
the acroform dictionary. Acrobat is always helpful and instead of refusing to
open a broken file it will reconstruct the acroform dictionary and make
everything look good (when it isn't).

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Form Flattening
I certainly do have a form that I can fill in both with Adobe Reader and
iText, and it's not of the XFA variety.
The "answer I've yet to find" that I'm referring to here is what the
clients are doing to it in filling it in and returning it in a condition
such that I can't flatten it.
Thanks
Andy
