Hi Tilman. Interesting. I had this:
acroForm.setNeedAppearances(true); but it didn't seem to make any difference in how anything looked, and made me get the prompt even when the code opened and closed the file without adding any actual widgets, whereas without that statement at least it doesn’t result in getting the prompt if no widgets are even added. So I commented it out. It's true that I don't attempt to add an appearance stream except for the case where I really do put an image on a button. Are you saying there's no recourse to avoiding the save prompt other than adding appearance streams for everything? I fear I am not understanding something about appearance streams in general.

We would like for this prompt not to happen. You didn't share the relevant code (just "do stuff"), but I suspect you added acroform stuff without appearance streams / set that appearance streams are to be set. Adding the correct appearance streams is quite tricky... we do it for some field types, but not all.
