Hi,

I'm new to PDF but we want to prefill some fields in an existing document from
an application, so I am trying out a few things.

I tried to run the FillForm example against a document. The field was updated
correctly, but when I opened the document with Adobe Reader the new value was
not displayed until I touched the field - either with the mouse (not just rollover)
or by tabbing into it. Then it displays nicely.

If I add "text1" to the field in the original document (with Adobe Reader) and
the run the example (adding "text2", I see the old value ("text1") until I touch
the field. Then i see "text2".

As far as I can see the fields lack an appearance attribute (there is no /AP
attibute in the dictionary). I think it will be alright if I supply
a NormalAppearance, but how do I do that?

I thought I could just add
    field.getAnnotations().setAppearance(new PDAppearance(??))
but PDAppearance cannot be instantiated directly. 

So what do I do?


I know it would be a great help for you if I could send you the document and
let you try it out yourselves, but unfortunately the document is confidential
and I haven't been able to get my hands on a non-confidential copy.
