When we traced the source code of PdfReader (v1.4), in line 3050, there is a line
iteratePages((PRIndirectReference)kids.get(k));
where kids is an ArrayList.
This class casting logic will not have problem for most PDF files. But for some PDF files, the ArrayList (kids) contains not only PRIndirectReferences, but also contains com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfLiteral, As the result, this line will throw ClassCastException. Could anybody have idea on this issue. Thank you.

Eric

Our project is using itext 1.4 and trying to concatenate multiple PDF files
to one single PDF file. When we instantiated a new PdfReader on a file, it
throws java.lang.ClassCastException with following stack trace.
