We still need a short but complete reproduce case.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.
Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

of course the testfile.pdf is an existing .pdf file, that's in the
same directory as the .php file itself.

Description:
------------
I want to make an overlay on an existing PDF file, and according to
what I find on your website and on the manual of PDFLib is that I need
PDF_open_pdi (pdi ->pdf import).
the function description on the websites are :
int pdf_open_pdi(int resource, string filename, "",0)
however, when I make an empty PDF object with:
$p=new PDFlib, and I user $p as the first parameter in the call to the
function pdf_open_pdi, I get the next errormessage :
PDFlib exception occured in hello sample : [0]: PDFlib::open_pdi()
expects parameter 1 to be string, object given
Reproduce code:
---------------
I call to this function like this :
<?
...
$p = new PDFlib();
...
$filename = "testfile.pdf";
$p->open_pdi($pdf , $filename, "");
...
?>
In my opinion this should work... but it doesnt.

#I'll leave this file in place so you can see what it does
Expected result:
----------------
I expected the original pdf file to be opened and added as some sort of
background, so I could take the default PDFlib functions to create some
sort of overlay function.
Actual result:
--------------
However, if I create a blank pdf, and open another with open_pdi,
instead of that I can do what's written in the PDFlib manual, I get an
errormessage in return, that tells me that open_pdi's first parameter
should be a string. But if this were a string, how should I be able to
operate on it later as if it were a PDF (object) ?
I hope someone can figure out some answer for me, that I can make it
work.
