[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-3684) PDF box crashes on mal-formed
files
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3684?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15862851#comment-15862851 ]

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The error message is quite clear
{code}
Error: can't merge source document containing dynamic XFA form content.
{code}
Background: a PDF containing a dynamic XFA content will be rendered at runtime using Adobe Reader, Acrobat or the software supporting that. PDF is only a shell containing a form description. There are no predefined visual PDF objects to represent the page. You'd need to render the XFA into a regular PDF. After that you can merge it.
If you try to merge the documents using Adobe Acrobat you'll get a similar result (although not an IOException - but the file is skipped).
*So the PDFBox behavior in this case is intended!*

> I supply 2 PDF files (_certificate-of-analysis.pdf_ and _questionario-sulle.pdf_) which cause an exception if i try to merge them using {{PDFMergerUtility}}.
> I've implemented code examples which run to the exceptions:
> https://bitbucket.org/radistao/pdfbox-merge-bug/
> or just take the same sources from the attached [radistao-pdfbox-merge-bug.zip|https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12852256/radistao-pdfbox-merge-bug.zip]
> Those 2 files are included into the repository ({{test/resources/}}).
