> While working on a PDF Form which has two overlapping form fields 
>  # TestBox Common Property  – Hidden but Printable
>  # DropDown with Common Property – Visible but Dosen't print
> But when we flatten the form but calling pdfDoc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm().flatten()
> the text on the respective fields also over lap.
> But as per the documentation of the flatten (Invisible and hidden fields will be skipped and will not become part of the page content stream). 
> Debugged it further found out the isHidden() is returning false for both the controls. Attached the screen shot of the over lapping text.
