Subject: PDF Field Names after Merging Documents

When I merge two documents using the PdfDocumentBase.Merge() method, if there are PDF Fields with the same names in both documents, the ComponentPro component renames the common fields in the added documents with a -0, -1, -2, etc for each additional document. 



This, of course, ruins the ability to be able to use the method of populating multiple fields with one value.




For example



In document #1, I have a field called "Full_Name"




In document #2, I have a field called "Full_Name" 



Then when I merge the two documents I have a field called "Full_Name" and a field called "Full_Name-0".




I SHOULD be a field called "Full_Name" with two instances instead of renaming them.
