I have 2 copies of a PDF form open with the form fields filled in. Both docs are saved as separate file names. When I combine the documents into one by using the Document-Insert Pages, the form fields of the merged document disappear. Not just the text but the fields are completely erased. The original document (i.e. the doc I added the page to) maintains its fields and text.
Is this normal behavior? The solution ended up being to Flatten the second document before merging it into the first but that is not what I was after.
Thanks

Hello ksudavid,
Thank you for the post,
Unfortunately the copy form fields feature has not yet been implemented. We are working on getting this feature out and available to users but do not yet have a timeline as to when it will be released.
We thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Hello Patrick,
I see that was back in 2014, and it seems this still hasn't been implemented almost 10 years later? Is that right?
How can I merge multiple forms without losing the fields?

Hi, uptop
Yup, it was done. You need to use "Copy with Rename":
does that help? It should be available in "Combine Files" as well as "Insert Pages"
Kind regards,
