Hi, I have tried for several hours (more than a day) to solve this problem. Yes,
I have read the documentation and also bought the Manning book. Can somebody
give me pointers on how to solve this?

Here is the problem:

I have 2 Acroforms (call them P1.pdf & P2.pdf). 

P1.pdf has just one text field and one submit button. This submit button just
does HTTP/POST of the text field in P1.pdf to server; i.e. just sends name value
pair to server. I am able to POST to server from Acrobat reader, no problems so
far. (Except bugs in Acrobat 8.0 which did not POST the "&" between request
parameters. This bug is corrected in Acrobat 8.1).

All right,now I want to concatenate P2.pdf, which also has another unique text
field. I want to concatenate P2.pdf to P1.pdf and POST the text fields of P2
also to server. That's where I am trying to use iText and miserable failing.

Tried concatentating 2 pdfs using PdfCopy.copyAcroForm, but now the submit
button on page 1 does nothing; i.e. is does NOT send ANYTHING to server. Tried
doing PdfCopyFields, same result; i.e. nothing sent to server.

Then I tried to generate a new pdf dynamically, added a new Acroform and then a
new submit button dynamically using pdfAcroForm.addHtmlPostButton. Again
concatenated two acroforms. This button does send some data to the server, but
only for acrofields on the dynamically generated pages. 

Tried so many other things, nothing works. So the question is - how to I merge
two acroforms so that the submit botton posts the merged fields of all merged
documents to the server? Can it be done?

Thanks!
