Description

The attached pdf used to work with Splitter in release 3.0.0, 3.01 however breaks in 3.0.2.

Cannot invoke "org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage.getCOSObject()" because the return value of "org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.documentnavigation.destination.PDPageDestination.getPage()" is null

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage.getCOSObject()" because the return value of "org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.documentnavigation.destination.PDPageDestination.getPage()" is null

at org.apache.pdfbox.multipdf.Splitter.fixDestinations(Splitter.java:153)

Have attached the pdf and a test class. 

It fails if we split on page count =1 or count = 10.
