Hi Tilman, I tried AcroForm.setNeedAppearances(true) in the past but you mentioned on Stackoverflow that the resulting document will only be readable on Adobe Reader, and I checked - only Adobe Reader renders it correctly - other readers display default values.
I'm not sure it's related to the JIRA issue you mentioned since I don't see any exception - PDF is generated correctly. I'll wait...
