We would ideally want a test document, for both sanity checking and
unit testing. Don't suppose you can ask your end user to do us a
sample one?

I can't show you the client's document, but here are some interesting
"portfolio documents".
http://acrobatusers.com/gallery/pdf_portfolio. I'm not sure if all are
in Portfolio PDF, but the are all complex documents).
For example, one of the documents listed on that page "Training Courses
Portfolio" is a PDF of PDFs (which curiously is set of courses about
using Acrobat to create PDFs including how to create PDF Portfolio
Documents; yikes the self-reference could give one a headache)
This one is:
http://acrobatusers.com/assets/uploads/gallery/Ted-Osuch_tf_acro_train_1.pdf
If you download this and view it in Acrobat reader, you can not only
click from the primary page which brings up each document, but you can
use the tool bar
"Files" button to view that the document is made from 6 different
documents. Clicking on "Adobe Acrobat advanced.pdf" shows a nice sample
page
(which includes the entry "Creating a PDF Portfolio" hahaha).
Another one I can understand is:
http://acrobatusers.com/assets/uploads/gallery/aron%20katz_30-Jun-2009_122215_Portfolio1.pdf
Which when you click on Files you see several directories each
containing various files.
I'm thinking these both (and others) are examples of Portfolio
documents, but there does seem to be a difference between PDF documents
with PDF attachments and PDF Portfolio files as it says at the bottom of
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WSA2872EA8-9756-4a8c-9F20-8E93D59D91CE.html
"PDFs attached to other PDFs do not offer the same benefits as PDF
Portfolios", so somehow there is a difference.
I hope this helps,
