I tried this, but whatever I add to this object (like
a line: /CO [10 0 R] ), it never get's written to the pdf file.
Looks like the Form environment always writes its own
AcroForm object.[I would still need the TextField object
number and don't see how I could get this. And I would
need to write this below the Form environment]

When I look at the object numbers, \pdflastobj is 4
immediately after \begin{document}, then 7 after
the \pdfobj definition, then does not change anymore which
Form and TextField definitions:

\begin{document}
pdflastobj: \the\pdflastobj
\pdfobj{
  <<
    /CO [10 0 R]
    /Fields []
  >>
}
\edef\OBJ at acroform{\the\pdflastobj}

pdflastobj: \the\pdflastobj

\begin{Form}
pdflastobj: \the\pdflastobj

In the resulting pdf file the AcroForm object is number 4
and 7 is the page list object, whether I include this \pdfobj
or not.


Thanks for any further help, Ralf
