I know copy will make field1 let's say in pdf1... pdfN the same value; it is
*NOT* what I want. 

I want:
================================
(1) Although pdf1... pdfN have the same format, 
  values in pdf1, .... pdfN are totally unrelated 

(2) Merge pdf1... pdfN to one result.pdf

(3) editable fields in pdf1 are still editable in result.pdf
     editable fields in pdf2 are still editable in result.pdf
     .....
     editable fields in pdfN are still editable in result.pdf

I agree with you and I tried very hard but still did not get any clues. I
wonder how would itext support it? 

Do Need Help!

Thank you,
