Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean by the phrase "XFA-native APIs"?
Since you use the plural, can you list two such APIs?

Acrobat 8.1 (and equivalent version of LiveCycle Designer) NO LONGER SUPPORTS
the "mirroring" of XFA fields into AcroFields in dynamic documents - which is
why you can no longer use the method you've chosen on dynamic documents.
You need to switch to using the XFA-native APIs.

Paulo,
Thanks for your help. Rather than clog the mailboxes of every iText
mailing list user I put a sample at http://www.xigole.com/scott/itext/pdf1
.7issue.zip to download (1.4Mb). This file contains roughly the source I'm
using and shows that only Acrobat 8 dynamic files have a problem but Acrobat 7
static and dynamic and Acrobat 8 static work.
The file contains a sample XDP (my "source" data), 4 PDF's (7 and 8 static
and dynamic), the source code (single Java file) and a build file. Once built
run either the batch or shell script to generate 4 different PDF's from the
source PDF's. If there is anything I can do to assist this effort I would be
happy to do so. I am reading the generated PDF with Adobe Acrobat 8.1.1
Professional.
Thanks again for any help.

Subject: [iText-questions] Pdf 1.7 and merging XFA data
Hello,
I've got a version 1.7 PDF that I'm trying to get the
AcroFields out of,
merge XFA data into it, and save it. If I save the PDF as an
Acrobat 7
(static or dynamic) PDF in LiveCycle Designer 8.0 I can merge
fine. If
I save it as an Acrobat 8 PDF the result from
PdfStamper.getAcroFields()
seems to be empty and my resulting PDF does not have the any of the
fields filled in.
Is this an existing limitation of iText and PDF version 1.7 or should
the code look different? Thanks very much for any help.
The code:
// inputDataElement is the xfa:data element from an existing XDP file
PdfReader inputReader = new PdfReader( "input.pdf" );
File tempPdfFile = File.createTempFile( "sd", ".pdf" );
FileOutputStream tempPdfOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(
tempPdfFile );
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper( inputReader,
tempPdfOutputStream );
AcroFields fields = pdfStamper.getAcroFields();
fields.mergeXfaData( inputDataElement );
pdfStamper.close();
tempPdfOutputStream.close();
