--------------------------------------

             Summary: Adding page from one doc to another (as a layer) results 
in faulty doc
                 Key: PDFBOX-1360
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1360
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Parsing, PDModel, Writing
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0
         Environment: Windows (x64), JRE 1.6u29 (x86)
            Reporter: Tobias Skarman


Using the process laid out in testLayerImport() of 
http://java2s.com/Open-Source/Java/PDF/PDFBox-1.4.0/org/apache/pdfbox/util/TestLayerUtility.java.htm,
 a PDF document is generated that can be viewed in both Adobe Reader X (10.1.3) 
and SumatraPDF.

But when opening some of the tools in Reader X, an error box gets displayed. It 
warns about a potentially corrupt file and potentially incorrect display

For example, opening the resulting PDF, pressing F4 to view the layer utils 
will trigger this behavior.

I used page 1 from

- (1): http://www.enterasys.com/company/literature/a4-ds.pdf
- (2): 
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf

respectively, to create a PDF with page 1 of (1) overlayed with page 1 of (2). 
These are just random Google results. The error was triggered with more 
concrete files of my own as well

Since the PDF displays fine on initial load, it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't 
exactly the layering I was after (overlaying, toggling display of individual 
layers)

I tried different variations:
- created a new document and importPage() from (1)
- did not create a new document but used (1) directly
- a few permutations of adding page/saving/re-loading or not

Alternatively - is there a way to add a layer/OCG without creating an XObject 
form off it?

Best,
Tobias
