Maruan Sahyoun updated PDFBOX-3111:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
When PDFs containing interactive forms are merged using Acrobat, fields with 
the same name are merged into one. That's different to the current behavior of 
PDFBox which renames to be merged fields so they have a unique name (see 
PDFBOX-3094).

In addition Acrobat supports merging documents with interactive forms into 
collections when keeping the existing (duplicate) fields is required.
