srinivas valisekkagari commented on PDFBOX-3094:
------------------------------------------------
After merging the pdfs, the resultant form fields need to en editable for
following reasons :
- user needs to fill in some fields that are left blank as we didn't have the
information while generating the form
- user may need to edit and modify the information in any of the form fields
that were already filled as
the information may be incorrect.
Note that the user will print the resultant form after these edits and will not
be able to save the form (for security reasons).
> Merging PDFs with a Form is not retaining the field name values

> 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
