> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: PDModel

> Reporter: Roberto Nibali
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 1h

> I need to set COSName.FF and COSName.F dictionary entries to amend a broken fields clone from one PDF to another. Here is part of the code to illustrate what I'm trying to achieve:
> String fieldToHideName = "01.024";
> String fieldToShowName = "01.0251";
> PDField fieldToHide = tplDoc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm().getField(fieldToHideName);
> PDField fieldToShow = tplDoc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm().getField(fieldToShowName);
> fieldToHide.getCOSObject().setFlag(COSName.F, PDAnnotation.FLAG_HIDDEN, true);
> fieldToShow.getCOSObject().setFlag(COSName.F, PDAnnotation.FLAG_INVISIBLE, false);
> fieldToShow.getCOSObject().setFlag(COSName.FF, PDFields.FLAG_READ_ONLY, true);
> The last one is not possible because the PDField's static flags are private instead of public. I know there are methods to call, but I believe in this case the resulting code is easier to read and more straight-forward to write. After all we're talking about setting flags. For some reason the PDAnnotation's static flags are public.
