needsappearances flag
Hello,
Wondering if anyone can give an example of the proper way to set the
needsappearances flags on an acroForm? Currently, having an issue with PDF
fields filled with PFDBox, using setValue, not rendering in Chromes native
PDF viewer. I remember that this flag may help in that situation. Any help
either way is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm having trouble reproducing in a PDF that I can share. I'll try some
more samples when time allows.
Thank you for the help.

could you share the form at a public location together with a sample how you set the field values?

The issue I'm having seems to be related to fields having the same name,
where Acrobat will add # to the name.
Foo#0
Foo#1
These are set, but do not show up in some viewers (Chromes for sure) even
with NeedAppearances set. Wondering if this is a known issue or I'm doing
something incorrect?
Thanks,
Dan

Thank you for the reply. The version I'm using (1.8.9) does not have
COSName.NEED_APPEARANCES. What would the string value be for this COSName?
Thanks again,
Dan

for PDFBox 2. there is already a setter/getter within PDAcroForm. For PDFBox 1.8 you could do
COSDictionary dictionary = PDAcroForm.getDictionary();
dictionary.setBoolean(COSName.NEED_APPEARANCES, true);
