Problem merging multiple PDF

[Nicolas Lemasson <ni...@flexio.fr>]

Hi support,

I'm using pdfbox 2.0.8. I have some pdf files that I would like to merge
together in a single document. Multiple files can be used to compose a
single page, so they don't have the same size.
It works using the LayerUtility class, importing pages as layer and
appending layers to the new page. But doing this I loose link annotations
and hyper links are not clickable in the final document.

So is there a way to append a pdf page to an other document page, keeping
link annotations ? ( I can't use PDFMergerUtility because it only
"concatenates" pages, and i need to append content at specific positions ).

To reproduce this, use the example pdf in attachment and try to append it
as layer to a new Document ( see sample code ).

Thanks in advance
best regards

There is no option to set, but you could copy the annotations by doing 
PDPage.getAnnotations() and taking these and adding them to what you get 
with getAnnotations().

It should work unless there is some weirdness with page mediabox / cropbox.

PS: PDF attachments don't go through.
