Add ability to ignore errors with AcroForms
-------------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-799
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-799
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Adam Nichols
Assignee: Adam Nichols
Fix For: 1.3.0
AcroForms seem to be implemented poorly by some PDF writers, and as a result
there are quite a few out of spec PDFs out there. This can be a problem when
trying to merge two PDFs together. I've found multiple which merge fine except
for the AcroForms. We should add a flag to PDFMergerUtility to allow the
caller to ignore AcroForm errors. This way people who just want to merge PDFs
and don't care about the AcroForm fields are able to do so.
The default will be to NOT ignore AcroForm errors, which provides perfect
backward compatibility and makes sure these errors are not silently discarded
by default.
