I received the files via private mail and did test them using java -jar pdfbox-app-1.8.8.jar PDFMerger "w4vt.pdf" "Accord Filled.pdf" merged-1.8.8.pdf
and compared the result with the filled form prior to merging and all form fields are there and visible using Adobe Reader. How are you merging the documents together? Do you use some custom code? If yes could you test the command line app as outlined above and let me know the results?
