> After using PDFBox/examples/fdf/SetField.java to set a
> field in a pdf and saved it, the text does not printed
> from the saved pdf. The text is in the pdf. Verified
> with PrintFields.java. Also if you go to the updated
> field in the pdf and click on it the text appears. If I
> add text to the end of the field using Acrobat, then
> the text is printed. Have verified the field in the pdf
> is not readonly. Was not able to determine the meaning
> of the FieldFlags. Here is the output from a modified

> I uploaded 2 file to ftp.pdfbox.org.  dd1149.pdf and
> 457employeeinformationchangeform.pdf. I am having the
> problem with dd1149.pdf (or I am missing something). When I
> bring the file up in Acrobat the From field does not display
> any text. If I click on the field, the text appears. Same
> thing happens when I click on the Highlight fields checkbox.
> When I print, the From field is blank. Does not matter if it
> is displayed on the screen or not. 
> Now why I might be missing something. With the
> 457employee*.pdf file I am not having the same problem.
> Thanks,
