FWIW, this has been the bane of my PDF life for a number of years now. XFA fields don't expand and Livecycle documents don't flatten. Talking to Adobe was useless. They didn't understand and simply didn't seem to care. When they DID come out with a solution, I was to try to convince my boss to purchase the entire Live Cycle Server AND the module we needed to flatten LC forms. I couldn't justify the outrageous expense just to flatten a form. Adobe's final response to me was to use read-only forms as my final output...even though I TRIED to explain that a read-only form is STILL a form...it's NOT a flat document.
THANK YOU itext!! They came to the rescue with XFA Worker. Now I can
flatten Live Cycle forms! I've been using it in our test environment for a
couple of months and recently moved it into our live environment. Every
once in awhile there is a form that doesn't come out QUITE right, but the
people at iText have been very responsive to my reports.
Back when I first found iText, I sent a message thanking and praising them
for a product that served us very well from the first hour that I picked it
up. I can't speak highly enough of them. It took awhile to develop an
answer to the LiveCycle issues created by Adobe, but iText has come through
again. It IS a little convoluted, but it's the best (heck, it's the only)
real solution out there.

text
Thanks a lot.
That would be a nice solution, although it requires me to buy Adobe
LiveCycle Designer.
But, I guess, nothing else is humanly possible.
I will try some possible workarounds first and if they don’t help I will
consider moving to your solution.
Thanks again. J

I would like to do something like that too, using iText.
If you create a dynamic form using XFA technology using Adobe LiveCycle
Designer, you can fill it out with iText and flatten it with XFA Worker.
You can't expect an AcroForm based form to expand automagically.
