    Description

      I supply 2 PDF files (certificate-of-analysis.pdf and questionario-sulle.pdf) which cause an exception if i try to merge them using PDFMergerUtility.

      I've implemented code examples which run to the exceptions:
      https://bitbucket.org/radistao/pdfbox-merge-bug/
      or just take the same sources from the attached radistao-pdfbox-merge-bug.zip

      Those 2 files are included into the repository (test/resources/).
