Description

When I merge to PDFs into one using PDFMerger the Destinations of the second PDF given are being lost.

I looked into PDFMergerUtility class and found that mergeInto called on Names' COSDictionary doesn't work as intended.

I tried to solve this problem, see the attached patch. Now I get both Destinations in the result PDF.

Please review & correct my lines before importing.
