Importing landscape format and portrait format oriented pages into the same PDF causes PDF corruption
Good Day
The platform i'm developing for recently switched from PDFBox 2.X to 3.0.0.
I created an add-on which generates a PDF-Documentation of the PBX for customers.
This PDF Contains multiple A4-Pages, some in the normail Portrait format, some rotated in landscape format for more space.
I use «Template» pages which are single page PDF's. (Cover Sheet.pdf, Normal_page.pdf, Normal_page_landscape.pdf), of which i create a copy for every page in the main pdf, based on what the user's choice for the documentation is.
In 2.X i used the integrated PDFCloneUtility to create a copy of the Template Page(s), and copy it to the main PDF using this:
PDPage SelectedPage = PDFSource.getPage(PageNumber);
PDFCloneUtility PDC = new PDFCloneUtility(PDFTarget);
COSDictionary PD = (COSDictionary) PDC.cloneForNewDocument(SelectedPage);
PDPage ClonedPage = new PDPage(PD);
PDFTarget.addPage(ClonedPage);
But since the PDFCloneUtility is protected in 3.0.0 i switched over to using the PDDocument ImportPage Function.
PDPage SelectedPage = PDFSource.getDocument().getPage(PageNumber);
PDPage PDCopiedPage = PDFTarget.importPage(SelectedPage);
Everything seemed fine, when testing. But when i started to generate the full documentation, the finished pdf did contain all pages, but adobe throws a lot of errors, and all the Landscaped pages are blank.
If i only generate Portrait Pages (Generated_PDF_Portraint_only.pdf), or LandScape Pages (Generated_PDF_Landscape_only.pdf) everything is fine, but when i mix them (Generated_PDF_Mixed.pdf), the result is broken.
I don't exactly know what could be causing this issue, i was hoping somebody might have some kind of clue, where this could come from.
Maybe i'm misunderstanding the importpage function, and that is not actually the correct way to clone pages?
Sincerely
Fabian Zünd

Hi,
I guess I've fixed https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5752 and the fix works for PDFBOX-5775 as well.
@Fabian please give the newest SNAPSHOT build of 3.0.2 a try

Thank you for the feedback.
I wanted to try a workaround, where i'd have 3 reference pages, that i would dupe in the document internally
While researching if there is a different way than using the importpage Function i stumbled upon this: https://copyprogramming.com/howto/pdfbox-how-to-clone-a-page
"Encountering an issue with large result sets; upon opening the pdf, the first two pages appear perfect, however, the third page causes Acrobat to error out. The template page is visible, but the report data is missing. Suspecting the issue lies with the aforementioned code, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you."
And it seems you were able to help him:
"I was able to resolve my query with the assistance of Tilman Hausherr, who guided me towards the correct path."
So for now i'll try this approach of internally copying the pdf pages in the template, filling them, and when done deleting the three rerference pages at the start.
With the code given from that webpage.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen

Hello I manged to try it all out with the Most current build pdfbox-app-3.0.2-20240221.085334-88.jar
The issue persists.
Maybe i'm doing the copying of the page completely wrong?
This is the code i'm using now to test copy/import single pages into a different document.
_____________________________________________________________
System.out.println("Generating Document");
//Generate Empty Document
PDDocument Document = new PDDocument();
PDAcroForm Form = new PDAcroForm(Document);
PDResources Resources = new PDResources();
Resources.put(COSName.HELV, new PDType1Font(FontName.HELVETICA));
Document.getDocumentCatalog().setAcroForm(Form);
Form.setDefaultResources(Resources);
Form.setDefaultAppearance("/Helv 0 Tf 0 g");
//Templates PDF's
File PDFRef1 = new File("C:\\Temp\\Page1.pdf");
File PDFRef2 = new File("C:\\Temp\\Page2.pdf");
File PDFRef3 = new File("C:\\Temp\\Page3.pdf");
//Load the Templates
System.out.println("Loading Template Documents");
PDDocument PDF1 = Loader.loadPDF(PDFRef1);
PDDocument PDF2 = Loader.loadPDF(PDFRef2);
PDDocument PDF3 = Loader.loadPDF(PDFRef3);
//Get the First Page of the Template PDF's
PDPage PDF1Page = PDF1.getPage(0);
PDPage PDF2Page = PDF2.getPage(0);
PDPage PDF3Page = PDF3.getPage(0);
System.out.println("Importing Pages");
//Import all pages
PDPage PDF1Imported = Document.importPage(PDF1Page);
PDPage PDF2Imported = Document.importPage(PDF2Page);
PDPage PDF3Imported = Document.importPage(PDF3Page);
System.out.println("Saving Document");
File Export = new File("C:\\Temp\\Export.pdf");
if(Export.exists())
{
Export.delete();
}
Document.save(Export);
System.out.println("Done");
_____________________________________________________________
The Result is as follows:
The very First Imported Page is completely fine
Any follow up page loads as long as it's in the same orentation as the original. But any text turns into something quite strange. It's like the Oiignal, but the Characters are scrambled.
If the Rotation of any follow up page is different to the first page the docuemnt becomes corrupt to the point where adobe throws an error.
For example the Text of Page Two

I have no idea what i'm doing wrong. Any leads?
The Reference PDF's are generated in Word and each saved as a 1 page pdf.
We're doing it this way, because the customer might want to add his own "Templates" with page designs, that we add content to.
Sincerely

Thanks for the feedback.
As i have no control over the PDF-Toolbox version i'll have to contact the software-developer.
They'll have to update the library that comes with the PBX.
I can deliver my own .jar files with the add-ons but loading both the 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 JAR file in the same runtime will surely lead to conflicts.

Please retry with 3.0.1 and if it still doesn't work, with the current snapshot version, because there have been several bugs related to include "foreign" pages in PDFs.
