Hi Mario!

Before calling the Save you need the following...

QP.SetNeedAppearances(1);
QP.SetFormFieldValueByTitle( FieldName, FieldValue );
nresult := QP.FindFormFieldByTitle(FieldName);
QP.UpdateAppearanceStream(nresult);

with this syntax the value was set,
you can see the value with any pdf-reader and
you can change the value again.

Cheers, Ingo
