I have run into an issue where I merged two PDF documents that both had a 
textbox with the same name.

Adobe products like Acrobat will only display the first textbox and not the 
second. Whereas the Chrome/Firefox PDF plugins and some applications like Foxit 
will display both textboxes just fine.

I've also found some Preflight job in Acrobat Pro resolved this issue. I don't 
know the PDF specification, but from what I've seen I'm assuming the PDF spec 
requires unique names for one type of input element. And if so, perhaps the 
PDFBox merger utility should throw an exception in the case there are duplicate 
names for one type of element.

Thanks
