Thanks Bruno, you are helpful form me!

I have a another question (very little, hope...)
I don't understand well the difference between form flatten and other form ?

You have two PDFs that contain an AcroForm (note that XFA is not supported in iText).
You use iText to fill in the values of different fields in this form.
At this point, the form is still a form: the end-user can still change the values manually. If you flatten the form, the PDF will look exactly the same way, but there will no longer be a form. There will no longer be fields. The end-user will no longer be able to change
the values.
This is important because PdfCopy isn't suited to concatenate PDFs that contain forms. If this isn't what you are looking for; if you to have a concatenated PDF that still contains the form fields, then you need to use PdfCopyFields. Note that you need to be very careful because your two PDFs can contain different fields with the same name.
Maybe you'll have to rename the fields.

(I use iText from 2-3 days only)

There's a learning curve. 2 or 3 days isn't enough to understand
what I just explained, start by reading:
