Thank you for your response Tilman. I had previously tried using the WriteDecodedDoc for my compressed PDF and I tried to get the number of acro form fields present in the output file generated by WriteDecodedDoc. The API still could not find the acro form fields in the generated decompressed file. Also the decompressed file generated is 75 KB which is far less than the original decompressed file which I have (1.6 MB) though I could edit the acro form fields using acrobat reader.
