public static enum PDFMergerUtility.AcroFormMergeMode extends Enum<PDFMergerUtility.AcroFormMergeMode>
The mode to use when merging AcroForm between documents:
  • JOIN_FORM_FIELDS_MODE fields with the same fully qualified name will be merged into one with the widget annotations of the merged fields becoming part of the same field.
    Although the API is finalized processing of different form field types is still in development. Currently only (nested) text fields do work with intermediate nodes being existent.
  • PDFBOX_LEGACY_MODE fields with the same fully qualified name will be renamed and treated as independent. This mode was used in versions of PDFBox up to 2.x.
