Yes we have a problem with AES256, which is apparently JDK related. This was discovered while working on PDFBOX-2456. So you help is most welcome, if successful. Your patch doesn't help on my local system, sadly. Please do this whether it works for you:
- update to the current trunk (use a copy because there are rendering problems since last friday)
- open the file org.apache.pdfbox.encryption.TestSymmetricKeyEncryption.java in the tests
- in the source code replace "test.pdf" with "Acroform-PDFBOX-2333.pdf"
- in the source code, look for testProtection() and activate this segment that is commented out
{code}
        document = PDDocument.load(new ByteArrayInputStream(inputFileAsByteArray));
        testSymmEncrForKeySize(256, sizePriorToEncryption, document, PASSWORD, permission1);
{code}
- run the test with your patch (and if this is my lucky day, improve your patch :-) so that it passes the test)

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: AcroForm, Writing
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
>            Reporter: Stephen Hendrix
>              Labels: AES256, AcroForm

> When writing a PDF using AES 256 bit encryption, the field names / values from the Acroform are not being persisted correctly. If I encrypt using RC4 128 bit, they are persisted correctly. I am using snapshot pdfbox:2.0.0-20141023.180319-636.
> I dug into this, and it looks to me the problem is with COSWriter.visitFromString, which invokes  SecurityHandler.decryptString (there is no SecurityHandler.encryptString).
