What Greg's allegory is saying is that PDF fields with the exact same
name all share a value. They can display that value in different ways
(font, color, rotation, whatever), but the underlying value is shared.
The most common time this comes up is when merging multiple copies of
the same form (or forms with similarly named fields) into a single
document. The solution? Set the values, flatten them (using
PdfStamper), then merge the flat pages.

Subject: [iText-questions] set multiple fields
I have a pdf that has multiple fields with the same name. How
would I go about populating these fields?
