Andreas Lehmkühler closed PDFBOX-481.
-------------------------------------
    Resolution: Not a Problem

The origin issue (filling the acroform) was invalid as it seemed to work. The rendering issue was solved some time in the past too.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: AcroForm
>    Affects Versions: 0.7.3
>         Environment: Windows XP Professional SP3, jre1.6.0_07/jdk1.6.0_11 , PDFBox-0.7.3.jar

> I will explain what I want to do.
> 1. I have a PDF Document with Fields and let us call this 'Source_Original.PDF'. The field names in this PDF document have to be renamed and stored as 'Source_Target.PDF'. I then have to set/change the values of form-fields in 'Source_Target.PDF'.
> The issue I am facing is given below:
> 1. I renamed the form fields in 'Source_Original.PDF" using the code given in my earlier mail (below) and saved it as 'Source_Target.PDF'.
> 2. I checked the form fields in 'Source_Target.PDF" and form-fields were renamed correctly.
> 3. However when I tried to set/change values of form-fields in 'Source_Target.PDF' using PDFBox code, I was not able to do so.
> I used iText to set/change values of form-fields in 'Source_Target.PDF' and was successful. But we want to use only PDFBox.
> To summarize - We are not able to set/change values of form fields of a PDF Document whose form-fields have been renamed. There is no issue if the form-fields are renamed manually using Adobe Acrobat 9. The issue is only
> when the form-fields are renamed using PDFBox option - setPartialName(newFieldName);
> > Only to be sure, changing values in 'Source_Original.PDF'  works with the same code you use to 
> > manipulate 'Source_Target.PDF'??
> Yes
> I have attached the 2 files - "Source_Original.PDF' and 'Source_Target.PDF',
> ----- Code
