// The value of a TextField is specified as a string, but it is not possible
// to work with strings in a password protected PDF without specifying the password.
// In such cases it is possible to use a workaround to set it using PdfName,
// while it is not compliant with the PDF specification,
// at least Adobe Acrobat supports this scenario:
tf.PdfValue = new PdfName(Common.Util.TimeNow().ToString());

var ctf = (CombTextField)docSrc.AcroForm.Fields[3];

// Note 3: appearance streams cannot be generated in a password protected PDF
// that was loaded without specifying the password, so we set
// the NeedAppearances entry of the AcroForm, which instructs Acrobat to generate
// the missing appearance streams:
docSrc.AcroForm.Set(PdfName.Std.NeedAppearances, PdfBool.True);
// Demo site specific:
// We save the modified password protected document to a temp file,
// and load it again with the password, so that the demo site can show it
// without asking the user for a password (the block is to delete the temp file):
