Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-737:
-------------------------------------------
Before we include your patch I've one question: Isn't your document well
structered or do we have a parser issue? Following the pdf reference the Kids
entry in the dictionary is required and not optional. Does your document
contain such an entry or is it missing?

> getAllKids(List result, COSDictionary page, boolean recurse) throws a
> NullPointerException when page.getDictionaryObject( COSName.KIDS ) returns
> null. I have a PDF where this actually happens but I can not provide it due
> to the confidential information it contains. I confirmed that once I added
> the null check that the code worked as expected (the documents I was merging
> were visible, the page count was correct, etc.). Patch will be attached
> momentarily.
