Adriano - I think you are asking the wrong question because it doesn't
make sense.

When you read/parse a PDF, there can only be ONE Document Catalog object
in the active PDF document.  The reason is because that object is
determined by the value of the /Root key in the CURRENT Trailer.  Once you
have that object, it will start your "tree walk" to all other objects in
the current/active PDF.
