Dear PDFBox Team,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to report an issue I encountered
while using PDFBox version 3.0.0. It appears that there is a problem when
attempting to extract pages from one PDF and add them to another PDF.
While using the same code and PDFBox version 2.0.29, it is perfectly working
and output PDF contains no blank pages.
Issue Description:
*
Version: PDFBox 3.0.0
*
Problem: When using the PDFBox library to extract pages from one PDF file and
add them to another PDF or a new PDF file, the resulting document contains
blank pages.
Steps to Reproduce:
*
Load an existing PDF document.
*
Extract pages from document.
*
Add the extracted Pages to a new PDF.
*
Save the modified PDF.
Expected Result:
The resulting PDF should contain the extracted pages without any blank content.
Actual Result:
The resulting PDF contains blank pages.
Additional Information:
*
I have attached the code snippet that reproduces the issue
*
I am using the following dependencies.
PDFBox version 3.0.0
Java Version - 1.8.0_91
Code Snippet:
```
try{
for (int i = 1; i < iDestPageNumber; i++)
{
PDPage page = destReader.getPage(i-1);
page.setMediaBox(destReader.getPage(i-1).getMediaBox());
page.setResources(destReader.getPage(i-1).getResources());
tempDocument.addPage(page);
iOutputPageCount++;
}
int srcPages = srcReader.getNumberOfPages();
for (int i = 0; i < srcPages; i++)
{
PDPage page = srcReader.getPage(i);
page.setMediaBox(srcReader.getPage(i).getMediaBox());
page.setResources(srcReader.getPage(i).getResources());
tempDocument.addPage(page);
iOutputPageCount++;
}
for (int i =iDestPageNumber; i <= destPages; i++)
{
PDPage page = destReader.getPage(i-1);
page.setMediaBox(destReader.getPage(i-1).getMediaBox());
page.setResources(destReader.getPage(i-1).getResources());
tempDocument.addPage(page);
iOutputPageCount++;
}
tempDocument.save(outputPath);
tempDocument.close();
}
```
I would appreciate any guidance, suggestions, or potential solutions to resolve
this issue. If this is a known problem, please let me know if there are any
workarounds or if a fix is planned in a future release.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I appreciate the hard work you put into
maintaining the PDFBox library.
Best regards,
Amber Prakash Verma
