Keith Cozad commented on PDFBOX-3111:
-------------------------------------
I believe I'm experiencing the same issue, with a slightly different variant.
I have 2 separate PDFs that I'm merging. I use this line:
pdfMerger.mergeDocuments( MemoryUsageSetting.setupTempFileOnly()
However, I lose any fields on the second form that were named the same as the
first (such as "name" or "creditCard"
> Replicate Acrobat behavior when merging PDFs with interactive forms

> Key: PDFBOX-3111
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3111
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 1.8.10, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Maruan Sahyoun
> Priority: Major
>
> When PDFs containing interactive forms are merged using Acrobat, fields with
> the same name are merged into one. That's different to the current behavior
> of PDFBox which renames to be merged fields so they have a unique name (see
> PDFBOX-3094).
> In addition Acrobat supports merging documents with interactive forms into
> collections when keeping the existing (duplicate) fields is required.
