Description

Merging two different document results to creating an pdf where is the only first document two times.

There are two input documents (they differs in different text in 'Produkt' attribute in the first section) attached.

The attached result.pdf is the output of command:

> java -jar pdfbox-app-2.0.8.jar PDFMerger AML1.pdf AML2.pdf result.pdf 

The result.pdf is not merged AML1.pdf with AML2.pdf but only two times AML1.pdf.

I tried examining pdf, but I am not so expert so I do not see anything special. BTW when I opens the documents in Reader and saves it, it merges correctly.
