> A guy on the user mailing list used this code:
> {code:java}
> PDDocumentCatalog pg = new PDDocumentCatalog(mergedPDF) ;
> PageMode pm = PageMode.USE_OUTLINES;
> pg.setPageMode(pm);
> {code}
> This destroyed his PDF. The only usages of the constructors are internal to PDFBox, when a document is newly created or opened. My first thought was to make the constructor package local to avoid people using this, but it would prevent subclassing (although I can't imagine why anybody would do that), so I'll make it protected instead.
