It will give an interactive form, but you must specify a base document (this is the one that wil have all its structure used for the new doc). I am assuming that you are using version 9 of Assembler.

What do you mean by base document?
How do i define an interactive document as base document?
is it correct that the first document will be called base document in ddx
ddx,
<PDF result="doc3.pdf" ><!--output document; intractive-->
<PDF source="doc1.pdf"/> <!--Base document; intractive-->
<PDF source="doc2.pdf"/>
</PDF>

It used to be that the 1st document was always the base document .....now you can add an attribute to indicate which one will be the base document.
Here is an excerpt from teh DDX specification:
baseDocument attribute
When assembling multiple PDF documents, one PDF document is the “base” document. The
baseDocument’s (and only the baseDocument’s) document properties, XFA data, document level
JavaScripts, and viewer preferences are carried over to the result <PDF> document. The baseDocument
may be thought of as providing the initial structure for the resulting PDF document.
A baseDocument is always required, even if marked ‘required=”false”’
.
Documents that are not the baseDocument only contribute pages, document components (eg bookmarks,
links, file attachments), page labels, page content, and page properties to the resulting document.
For document-level components, like file attachments, they are only included from a document once, even
if the document is specified multiple times.
baseDocument Identification
To determine which source PDF is the baseDocument, the
first of the following conditions to be true
identifies the baseDocument :
1. A source <PDF> which contains a baseDocument attribute with a value of “true” (the default is
“false”). In the following example, doc2 is the baseDocument:
<PDF result=”doc3”>
<PDF source=”doc1” />
<PDF source=”doc2” baseDocument=”true” />
</PDF>
2. The source <PDF> whose source attribute value is identical to the result <PDF>’s result attribute. In the
following example, doc2 is the baseDocument:
<PDF result=”doc2”>
<PDF source=”doc1” />
<PDF source=”doc2” />
</PDF>
3. The first source <PDF>. In following example, doc1 is the baseDocument:
<PDF result=”doc3”>
<PDF source=”doc1” />
<PDF source=”doc2” />
</PDF>
If more than one source element has baseDocument attribute set to “true” an error is returned.
