> Key: PDFBOX-3809
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3809
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 2.0.5, 2.0.6
> Reporter: Cristin Donaher
> Priority: Minor
>
> Thanks for the excellent PDF library. For my use case I need to flatten a subset of the AcroForm fields. I was attempting to use the PDAcroForm.flatten call, passing in my field list. However, after the method is called, all the fields are gone.
> The method itself appears to remove all PDFAnnotationWidgets from each page and at the end clears the acroform's field set.
> Is the javadoc description (This will flatten the specified form fields.) just misleading? Could a flatten call for a subset of fields be added?
> Thanks
