Setting field values in merged documents

I have a single page test PDF with two Text fields called Text1 and Text2

I want to merge multiple copies of the test document and on each merged page I want to set unique values for Text1 and Text2

I am able to successfully set values for the first page.  But not for the appended pages.

Here is sample code (VB6)

'Set up the merge option objects
    Dim oMergeOpt0 As New MergeOptions
    oMergeOpt0.MergeFormFields = True
    oMergeOpt0.RootFormField = "F0"
    
    Dim oMergeOpt1 As New MergeOptions
    oMergeOpt1.MergeFormFields = True
    oMergeOpt1.RootFormField = "F1"

'Load up first page of our document.
    Dim objDoc As New DynamicPDF.Document
    objDoc.LoadPdf App.Path & "/PDFs/Test.pdf", , , oMergeOpt0

'Stuff some values
    objDoc.Form.fields.Item("F0.Text1").Value = "Sunny"
    objDoc.Form.fields.Item("F0.Text2").Value = "Delight"

'Append the next page
    objDoc.AppendPdf App.Path & "/PDFs/Test.pdf", , , oMergeOpt1

'Stuff values on Appended page (PRODUCES ERROR)
    objDoc.Form.fields.Item("F1.Text1").Value = "Apple"

The last line errors.  I am unable to refer to the "F1" page. 

The merged document does contain two pages with fields named
---Page 1 ---
F0.Text1
F0.Text2
---Page 2 ---
F1.Text1
F1.Text2

I simply am not able to reference the F1. fields

I notice the objDoc.Form.Fields.Count
Does not imcrement when the additional pdf is appended which may be a clue to the problem

Any help would be appreciated

Hello Dave,

Can you please send the original PDF document you are using to merge to our Support Team, so that they will try to create the same behavior at their end?

Thanks,
