Merged PDF is losing its form capabilities #41

First of all, thank you for the great plugin!

I ran into a problem when merging multiple PDF files where one PDF file contains a form with scripts (to automatically calculate field values based on entered numbers).

The form functionality is gone when merging, at least the scripts to calculate the fields and apply functionality to the send/approve button.

Is there a way to merge multiple PDFs and keeping the full form functionality?

Not sure - but you can take a look at this issue: https://github.com/EvotecIT/PSWritePDF/issues/12 The result was adding Flatten functionality which converts PDF forms making it at least readable.
