We also found that when flattening we lose any calculated fields which we have several of, so if we can only flatten (the signature we're adding) specific fields we'll get what we want. And yes we understand that flattening will take away functionality. > PDAcroForm.flatten(PDField list, refreshAppearances boolean) flattens all > form fields instead of specified ones. > > > Key: PDFBOX-3809 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3809 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: AcroForm >Affects Versions: 2.0.5, 2.0.6, 2.0.7 >Reporter: Cristin Donaher >Priority: Minor > Attachments: Example of fields that need to enter and the calculated > field from those values.docx, sf270.pdf > > > Thanks for the excellent PDF library.

The "only" problem that remains is removing a field. There's currently no way to remove a single field from the tree. But I think this can be done recursively by going through the tree: - on the array level, check the terminal fields if there's a match at the COS level - if yes, then delete field from COSArray and report success - if no, then for each non terminal field, get the kids array and do as described. This won't be done for the next release (it could, but this would be risky), but I think it can be done. Alternative: we do nothing and make the method private > PDAcroForm.flatten(PDField list, refreshAppearances boolean) flattens all > form fields instead of specified ones. > > > Key: PDFBOX-3809 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3809 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: AcroForm >Affects Versions: 2.0.5, 2.0.6, 2.0.7 >Reporter: Cristin Donaher >Priority: Minor > > Thanks for the excellent PDF library.
