If you set the data for the interactive PDF forms fileds only the new data will not be taken into account. Another issue is that the PDF form is Reader enabled. As of today PDFBox doesn't support incremental updates for such forms (which would be neccesary to not break the Reader Extensions) you need to reapply the Reader Extensions after changing the form. This is not something you can do using PDFBox - you need either Adobe Acrobat, Adobe AEM Forms Reader Extensions or Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
