Description

Hey,

I'm currently experiencing this kind of error and I dont have any clue how to fix it. Tried it now for a couple of hours, but still no clue how to get rid of this error.

I'm using the latest command-line jar of pdfbox (2.0.16) for the merging process.

Hopefully someone has a clue how I'm able to fix this asap.
