> I have a related problem. My file does have text in it, but what it doesn't have is a bookmark. If I add a bookmark to the source file, then it does get appended to the destination file. But if there is no bookmark in the source file, then I get the error. My issue is in the .net version

> This fix worked for me. Replace lines 256-258 in the PDFMergerUtility.java class with:
>                 
>                 if (first != null) {
>                  
>                  PDOutlineItem clonedFirst = new PDOutlineItem( (COSDictionary)cloneForNewDocument( 
>                          destination, first ));
>                  destOutline.appendChild( clonedFirst );
>                 
>                 }
