All fields within a form that share a name also share their value.
Merging multiple instances of the same form is Tough.
It's also one of the main reasons I use flattening.
So: Build your PDF one page at a time. Save each page out to a memory
stream, then import them all into a final PDF. Not terribly efficient,
but it works.

Subject: [iText-questions] Generating multi-page file from
single-pagetemplate
Im currently attempting to take a template file (a single page
PDF file residing on the filesystem) and creating a multiple page output
file, based on a certain number of invoices that need to be printed at
once. The template file contains form fields (address info, item info,
etc) that will be populated for each single invoice, which should then
be saved as part of a larger document. If the customer has 23 invoices,
I need to create 23 copies of the template, filling in the appropriate
information for each copy.
The issue Im running into is that I cant seem to get PdfStamper
to work correctly in this fashion. I can get it to work for one single
page of output, but when trying to loop it doesnt seem to fill in any of
the fields. The form fill function is called and does not error out,
but the finished file has no data in it.
I havent seen an example quite like what I need to
accomplish....most of what Ive found seems to be creating SEPARATE files
from copies of a template. I know this is a possible solution (i.e.
create 23 separate files and then PDFCopy or SmartCopy them together),
but was wondering if there is a more elegant way to do what I need.
Thanks in advance.
