> I've had some problems with the layer utility when trying to overlay two PDFs. Normally it works fine, but I've encountered a type of PDF file on which it doesn't work properly. 
> Text elements are not being displayed (it can be selected, but it looks to be transparent), but images are.
> I've stripped down my code to the bare minimum and produced a maven project with a command line and provided some examples for the base, the overlay and the output I get.
> I've attached all below.
> The usage for the command line is as follows:
> java -jar Overlayer-1.0.jar -basePdf base.pdf -overlayPdf overlay.pdf -outPdf out.pdf -layerName overlay
> If I try to overlay the other way around, i.e. use the overlay.pdf in the -basePdf parameter and the base.pdf in the -overlayPdf parameter, it does do the overlaying, but obviously, that's not what I'm looking for.
> Any hints as to why this might not work, or any particularities about the base PDF that might be causing this to be behaving differently would be helpful.
