-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my use case of these 3 forms in case it helps :
- The courts use Form A or Form B depending upon the date of offense of a
person.
- In each form we can only fill in either 26 (Form A) or 36 (Form B) prior
convicted offenses (Section IV). If we have many prior convictions then
we need to use extended form (Form C) which can only accommodate 39 more
convictions.
The situations where i need to merge more than once is if the person has many
prior convictions.
Example :- A person has 100 prior convicted offenses.
We need to use Form A + extended form + extended form (26 + 39 + 39 = 104 prior
convictions can be accomodated).
In each extended form unique information is written. So iam trying to merge in
that order and generate a single pdf at the end with all the prior conviction
information for that person.

> Hi,
> We are using pdfbox-app-2.0.0. I have 3 pdf forms a.pdf, b.pdf &
> c.pdf. Each of these forms are filled before i attempt to merge them. I can
> merge any two of these in any combination and the results looks good.
> If i merge any of these forms to the previous merge result then iam
> loosing field name values in the result and also the form is not editable.
> Example:-
> a.pdf merged with b.pdf to get ab.pdf
> If i merge ab.pdf with a.pdf, the resultant merged form will not have form
> field values in all the pages. It does have form field values in some pages.
> Is there a limitation or restriction on merging same pdf forms more than once
> ?
> Thanks,
> -Reddy
