---------------------------------------

             Summary: IllegalArgumentException: resourceDictionary is null in PDFMerger
                 Key: PDFBOX-2546
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2546
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Utilities
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Tilman Hausherr


This was first mentioned on the user mailing list by [~giladd]:

When merging the PDF 1.7 spec with another PDF file this exception appears:
{code}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: resourceDictionary is null
	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDResources.<init>(PDResources.java:68)
	at org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFMergerUtility.appendDocument(PDFMergerUtility.java:448)
	at org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFMergerUtility.mergeDocuments(PDFMergerUtility.java:190)
	at org.apache.pdfbox.tools.PDFMerger.merge(PDFMerger.java:70)
	at org.apache.pdfbox.tools.PDFMerger.main(PDFMerger.java:46)
	at org.apache.pdfbox.tools.PDFBox.main(PDFBox.java:76)
{code}

I did some debugging, it happens on the very first page. The resources is indeed null, but it exists when viewing with PDFDebugger.
