I am doing this to copy two pdf documents that have form elements and signature blocks. Everything copies as expected however on the first document ONLY it looses the XObject references causing me not able to complete my task.
Which version of iText are you using?The documentation says that PdfCopy can't be used to concatenate forms and that PdfCopyFields needs to be used instead. However: this all changed with iText 5.4.4: http://itextpdf.com/release/itext544 Since that version, PdfCopy is able to deal with form fields (use the addDocument() method) and PdfCopyFields is deprecated.
I also read that you have signature blocks. I'm not sure if you're talking about unsigned signature fields or not. If you're talking about signed documents, it goes without saying that concatenating such documents will inevitably break the signature (if the opposite was true, you'd have a problem as that would mean you'd be able to forge signed documents).
