Thanks Maruan for your response. In our case we would like to combine the documents to display the combined form in adobe reader. Could you shed some light on forms stitching? Is this something we can achieve using some APIs?

If the use case is to merge XFA documents to have an end document for archiving purposes flattening is the right way to go. If you would like to combine the XFA documents to have a new form which you could display in Adobe Reader you could extract the XFA content, combine it and put it back in - that's called forms stiching. ….. Currently PDFBox is not able to flatten a dynamic XFA document. You could use it to flatten static XFA documents but that has to be done using low level API functions. There is no high level API such as doc.flattenXFA() or so. There is some basic support for extracting XFA content. We are working on being able to put XFA content in. If you need some further hints - also possible alternatives - let us know.
