Jief Knudsen updated PDFBOX-4888:
---------------------------------
Description:
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."
I'll put them on WeTransfer
