Copy form fields from one PDF to another

Question

I have a situation where I need to copy all form fields from one PDF to another. The goal is to automate the overlay of fields when small changes are made to the underlying Word page.

I am using a trial version of Aspose.Pdf.Kit, and I can copy everything except the radio buttons to a new form. However, Aspose does not support copying switches, which completely negates its usefulness, not to mention the fact that their customer support was a sub-item.

In any case, I'm looking for some kind of library or plugin that supports copying all types of form fields.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank,

~ DJ

for( int i = 1; i <= tempalteReader.getNumberOfPages(); ++i) {
  stamper.replacePage( pdfFromWord, i, i );
}

stamper.close(); // throws
