Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-3111:
----------------------------------------
Merging of text fields is in a working state. I did a 1:1 comparison of the
PDFBox merged result to the Acrobat merged result in PDFDebugger and the result
looks good. The unit test also looks for the existence of the same properties.
*Although the PDFMergeUtility API is finalized processing of different form
field types is still in development.* Currently only (nested) text fields do
work with intermediate nodes being existent.
[~smf88] please test with a snapshot version
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.14-SNAPSHOT/
or build from the sources and let me know if that works for you.

> 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
> Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.0.14, 3.0.0 PDFBox

> Attachments: proof.pdf

>
> 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.
