             Summary: PDFMergerUtility doesn't rename common fields
                 Key: PDFBOX-4888
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4888
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.20
            Reporter: Jief Knudsen


I am merging 2 pdfs. They have fields with the same name.

I though PDFMergerUtility would rename these field, so when I open it, I still 
have the correct values in each field.

I am using PDFMergerUtility, with  *_PDFBOX_LEGACY_MODE_*

I am merging "f1040sb" and "8938 1-2(non flat).pdf".

One common field is, for example, "topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].f1_11[0]"

Am I wrong thinking it should be renamed ?

 

I tried the workaround to render each page as an image and add it to a 
destination pdf (not using PDFMergerUtility). Of course, it worked (no field 
anymore), but destination pdf is big.

Should I rename fields myself before merging ?

NOTE : when I try to attach files, I got : "Jira could not attach the file as 
there was a missing token. Please try attaching the file again."
