I'm having an issue merging completed forms. Basically I have a PDF template with many form fields and an example of the basic logic flow is: 1 - Open PDF template and fill in the form fields 2 - Save the completed form to a temp file location 3 - Open the temp file and merge into an existing PDF document
Repeat steps 1 - 3 until all forms completed.
The problem is when I open the final completed/merged PDF, all of the forms now have identical values (they are all the same as the very first PDF form that was completed. My best guess is this is because each completed form has fields with identical names and so all the fields with the same name are automatically being updated to the first value? After step 2 above I can pause the application and verify each individual temporary file has different data before the merge, but after the merge they all have the same data.
Is there anyway to avoid this? I was looking for some function like "flatten" I'd seen in other tools to kind of get rid of the fields and lock the values, but I'm not seeing this. Is there some other method to avoid what I'm seeing?
BTW, I'm using PdfSharp-WPF ver 1.32.2608
Thanks in advance for any help!
