> Merge of fdf annotations into pdf file exhausts stack
> attempting to merge an fdf file in a pdf file, using the PDDocument.saveIncremental () method, program stack is exhausted because of infinite recursion.
> looking further in the code, it seems the infinite recursion is being started from the private boolean COSIncremental.collect(COSBase base) method.
> i have attached a zip file carrying:
> - mini.pdf: a minimal pdf file to reproduce the issue
> - mini.fdf: an fdf annotation file carrying a /Text annotation and related /Popup to reproduce the issue
> - COSIncrement.java: a modified source that generate extra traces (+ possible work-around)
> - COSIncrement-fix.java: a modified source to avoid the problem
> - Sample.java: a sample program that loads pdf, copies annotations and saves incrementally.
> - sample_run.xlsx: an extract of the Sample output to compare a working vs non-working
>  
> notes:
> 1- I was not able to reproduce the problem using annotations created dynamically in the code.
>  
> 2- It is possible to avoid this issue by altering the COSIncrement.java class (COSIncrement-fix.java):
> it records objects beING collected through enter () method ensuring object is not being collected multiple times
