The hierarchical document structure is a means to describe the PDF document structure, which is currently not supported. See 10.6.1 Structure Hierarchy on 856 page of the PDF specification for details.
This document structure is an alternative to the standard PDF structure and most non-Adobe software does not support it.

The document might have been created with Adobe software like Adobe LiveCycle Designer. Very often the document contains some fallback text in the standard PDF structure like:
"Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document."
"The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher. You may not have the Adobe Reader installed or your viewing environment may not be properly configured to use Adobe Reader. For information on how to install Adobe Reader and configure your viewing environment please see  http://www.adobe.com/go/pdf_forms_configure."
"For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X, Reader X, or later."

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.

A NullReferenceException is thrown when trying to clone the Signature property of the field.

Available in LIB Version 2018.1.312.
Completed
Last Updated: 18 May 2023 06:25 by ADMIN
Release R2 2023

Trying to clone the Signature of a SignatureField leads to InvalidOperationException as the FieldName of the cloned signature is already set.

Workaround: Remove the signatures before the merging of the document:

private static void RemoveSignatures(RadFixedDocument document)
{
	List<FormField> signatures = document.AcroForm.FormFields.Where(ff => ff.FieldType == FormFieldType.Signature).ToList();
	if (signatures.Count > 0)
	{
		foreach (FormField signature in signatures)
		{
			document.AcroForm.FormFields.Remove(signature);
		}
	}

	List<SignatureWidget> signatureWidgets = document.Annotations.Where(a => a.Type == AnnotationType.Widget && a.GetType() == typeof(SignatureWidget)).Cast<SignatureWidget>().ToList();
	if (signatureWidgets.Count > 0)
	{
		foreach (var signatureWidget in signatureWidgets)
		{
			foreach (RadFixedPage page in document.Pages)
			{
				if (page.Annotations.Contains(signatureWidget))
				{
					page.Annotations.Remove(signatureWidget);
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

In business or enterprises there is more and more demand for PDF/A-3.

In Germany it is Zugferd for hybrid invoices, in Brazil Nota Fiscal Eletronica 2.0, in France FACTUR-X.

Also for longterm preservation it is import to support PDF/A-3.

If I would be the PM of this library this would be my number one priority!
