Seth Freeman created PDFBOX-4454:
------------------------------------
Summary: PDFmergerUtility is changing the names of form fields to
dummyField#X when fields have the same name.
Key: PDFBOX-4454
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4454
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Seth Freeman
This feature is making some useful aspects of having combined field forms not
work. This should be set as something that is optional.
In my case, we are using 3 different medical forms that all have similar
fields. In Acrobat merging would set the fields equal to each other. I'm
working on a project to automate filling these forms with information provided
by the patient. Right now merging with PDFbox breaks this.
My current workaround is to just fill each form separately then combine them,
but this makes edits later down the line needlessly complex.
