cfpdfparam's overwritedata=false overwrites data

Repro:

1) Download attached PDFWithAcrobatForm.pdf
2) Run this code:

<cfscript>
  cfpdfform(action="read", source=expandPath("./PDFWithAcrobatForm.pdf"), xmlData="acrobatXMLData", result="before");
  writeDump(before);//see Text1 is "my default text value" (good)
  acrobatXMLDataModified = replace(acrobatXMLData, "my default text value", "my default text value modified");
  cfpdfform(action="populate", source=expandPath("./PDFWithAcrobatForm.pdf"), destination=expandPath("./PDFWithAcrobatFormUpdated.pdf"), overwrite=true, overwritedata=false, xmldata=acrobatXMLDataModified);
  cfpdfform(action="read", source=expandPath("./PDFWithAcrobatFormUpdated.pdf"), result="after");
  writeDump(after);//see Text1 is "my default text value modified" (bug b/c cfpdfform() had overwritedata=false)
</cfscript>

Actual result: Text1 was overwritten with "my default text value modified"

Expected result: Text1 should remain "my default text value"

CF-4060893 (duplicate of this) has a vote. That vote should be considered towards this ticket. But.. this issue shouldn't even need votes b/c it causes data corruption. Thanks!, -Aaron

Hi Adobe, I've verified this is NOT fixed in CF2016 Update 1 (build 2016.0.01.298513). overwriteData=false is ignored when XMLdata attribute is used. Data corruption!! Just save attached PDF as PDFWithAcrobatForm.pdf and re-run same steps in description. This ticket needs re-opened/fixed. I expect that I will not have to continually monitor this ticket, and that it will be resolved properly. Thanks!, -Aaron
