Missing data if document is merged with itself

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    Description

      When using PDFMergerUtility to merge the attached PDF twice into one document there may be data missing.
      To be more specific: In this case the data on page 1 looks fine, but page 28 is empty. My expectation is that page 28 is identical to page 1 (the document has 27 pages).

      Of course that's not a common use case. But I can reproduce this behaviour with other documents which are not identical, but similar.

      I think this might be related to PDFBOX-3111 and PDFBOX-3218.

      What is the trigger for this and is there a workaround?
