Thanks so much, Maruan. It's too late now, but I'll surely give this a try 
tomorrow.

you are missing to set the calculation order entry which is requiored if there 
are calculations.

Add something like this:

        PDField field = acroform.getField("SampleField2");
        COSArray calculationOrder = new COSArray();
        calculationOrder.add(field);
        acroform.getCOSObject().setItem("CO", calculationOrder);
