Feature added in revision 988362.
> Add ability to ignore errors with AcroForms
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-799
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-799
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Adam Nichols
> Assignee: Adam Nichols
> Fix For: 1.3.0
>
>
> AcroForms seem to be implemented poorly by some PDF writers, and as a result
> there are quite a few out of spec PDFs out there. This can be a problem when
> trying to merge two PDFs together. I've found multiple which merge fine
> except for the AcroForms. We should add a flag to PDFMergerUtility to allow
> the caller to ignore AcroForm errors. This way people who just want to merge
> PDFs and don't care about the AcroForm fields are able to do so.
> The default will be to NOT ignore AcroForm errors, which provides perfect
> backward compatibility and makes sure these errors are not silently discarded
> by default.
