I have an editable PDF that I am pre-populating with data using iText. The PDF is 3 pages, and at the top of each page is the same 5 fields. When the form was created, these 5 fields were created in a way each field is shown on each page.
i.e. customerName is one field, but that field is present at the top of all 3 pages. (same for the other 4 fields). What I am finding is that when my generated PDF is displayed in the browser (specifically the Chrome Default PDF viewer), the form fields where more than 1 field has the same name (i.e. customerName) aren't shown at all. If I flatten those fields, then they are displayed. And they are also displayed if I view the PDF in true client app (Mac Preview, or Adbobe Reader). I know this is probably a bug in the Chrome reader, but I obviously can't change Chrome, so I a hoping that I can change something in how i am populating the form with iText t solve the problem. It only appears to happen to the fields where more than 1 field has the same name.
