    Description

      When merging PDF's with the code:

      PDFMergerUtility pm = new PDFMergerUtility();
      File destPdf = File.createTempFile("TestFax_", ".pdf");
      pm.setDestinationFileName(destPdf.getAbsolutePath());

      for (File pdfFile:pdfFiles)

      { pm.addSource(pdfFile); }

      try

      { pm.mergeDocuments(); return PDDocument.load(destPdf); }

      catch (COSVisitorException e)

      { LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass()).error("Merging PDF's", e); }

      I get the exception:
