PdfProcessing: Form Fields are not copied when merging documents
When merging, only the widgets are copied but not their fields. This can lead to ArgumentNullException when exporting the document. Implement copying the fields and consider cases which include collision of names of the fields.

Workaround:
Repair the generated document using the following code:
foreach (Widget widget in this.pdfDocument.Annotations.Where(annot => annot.Type == AnnotationType.Widget))
{
    if (!this.pdfDocument.AcroForm.FormFields.Contains(widget.Field.Name))
    {
        this.pdfDocument.AcroForm.FormFields.Add(widget.Field);
    }
}
In case of Name collision, you can use the attached project or the attached project to the following feedback item to rename the duplicate fields: Provide a way to rename FormFields.

In case it helps anyone else... you need to run the workaround repair code on your RadFixedDocument *after* you have merged your documents. Don't do it on the PDF form file(s) you are readying to merge before actually doing your merge.

Hello,

We added an example project for renaming RadioButtonField in the feedback item concerning this functionality.: https://feedback.telerik.com/document-processing/1356455-pdfprocessing-provide-a-way-to-rename-formfields.

I hope that this helps.

Has anyone tried the attached project for name collisions with a radio button? It is slightly different than Textbox/Checkbox/Listbox etc and am having trouble with it.
