Description

AcrobatReader/FoxitReader/... won't print values of e.g. AcroForm TextFields within a PDF created with PDFBox. Neither the print-preview shows the values within the fields, nor does the printed result.

Minimal example to reproduce:
the one provided within the repository:

https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/interactive/form/CreateSimpleForm.java

Also had this issue with 1.8.x versions but maybe my code just wasn't correct..
