Description
The PDF loads fine in a webView but the form field's values present in the PDF are not seen.
Here is the test case:
var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
backgroundColor:"#fff"
});
var pdfViewer = Ti.UI.createWebView({
});
var pdf = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.resourcesDirectory, 'document.pdf');
pdfViewer.setData(pdf);
win.add(pdfViewer);
win.open();
document.pdf for testing.

Given that we see the exact same behavior natively, and that all I can find about PDFs and forms in iOS is that, 'you don't' (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8370048/in-ios-how-can-you-programmatically-fill-out-a-pdf-form-field ) Moving we mark this one as hold for when/if Apple supports forms in a PDF in iOS.
Apple's code, and not something we can route around.
Closing ticket due to the time that has passed since it was filed.
