I have updated my code base to iText 5.1.3 version and the problem still 
exists. When I run the analyze on the generated PDF, I get an error with 
regards to "appearance". 

Used profile: "Compliant with PDF/A (Draft)"  - AP (appearance) contains 
only N entry is not true (296 matches on 10 pages)

I am setting the needAppearance option to true. 

Could the the problem be that I am merging a collection of PDF files 
together and the last one in overrides the settings? I am also not seeing 
permissions or PDF properties like version/title/author getting retained. 

I am creating a PDF version 1.7 with needAppearance of true, setting 
title/author etc, then merging in a collection of other PDF files. The 
resulting PDF does not show any of these properties.  What is the proper 
order to set these properties on a collection of merged forms?
