-----------------------------------------------------------------
There are so many things wrong with this PDF that I don't see a specific
solution. I'm doing this just for fun. I was able to fix some of the fields
(e.g. Last1) but not yet all (e.g. the multiline fields and some others), for
some unknown reason. (I added the missing fonts to the default resources) Not
all appearances are redrawn. Either there's a bug in my code or there is
something in our code that skips the recreation of the appearances and I forgot
about it.
It's not even recreated when changing to the value to something else?!
