Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-3924:
----------------------------------------

what is the error you are getting? If it's because of 

{code}
U+xxxx is not available in this font's encoding: WinAnsiEncoding
{code}

that doesn't have anything to do with flatten but with trying to set a fields value where the characters you are using are not part of the encoding set for the font. Could you be a little more specific what the issue is you are facing?

> After set the value in the acroForm fields, i want to flatten the pdf. so that there should not be any form fields in my output pdf and when i am writing acroForm.flatten() it's not working.
> Here is my java code:
> package com.sdrc.image;
> import java.io.File;
> import java.util.List;
> import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
> import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAcroForm;
> import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDField;
> public class PDFBoxLanguageTest {
> 	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
> 		
> 		String formTemplate = "C:/Users/XXXX/Downloads/CPIS_test_language.pdf";
>         PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(new File(formTemplate));
>         PDAcroForm acroForm = pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
>         acroForm.setNeedAppearances(true); //need this line for Hindi
>         
>         if (acroForm != null) {
>         	// Get field names
>             List<PDField> fieldList = acroForm.getFields();
>             for (PDField pdField : fieldList) {
>             	if(pdField.getFullyQualifiedName().equals("Text1")){
>             		// Here i am passing a text in "English"
>     				acroForm.getField(pdField.getFullyQualifiedName()).setValue("Welcome");
> //pdField.setReadOnly(true);// not working
> //pdField.getCOSObject().setInt("FF", 1);// not working
>             	}else if(pdField.getFullyQualifiedName().equals("Text3")){
>             		// Here i am passing a text in "English-Hindi"
>     				acroForm.getField(pdField.getFullyQualifiedName()).setValue("Welcome-नमस्ते");	
> //pdField.setReadOnly(true);// not working
> //pdField.getCOSObject().setInt("FF", 1);// not working
>             	}else{
