I solved it by doing as in my first post and removing the reference to
outline.Last and outline.firstChild.Next manually:
boolean removeRootOutlineSibling =
pdf.getDocumentCatalog().getDocumentOutline().getFirstChild().getNextSibling()
== null;
pdfMergerUtility.appendDocument(pdf, attachment);
PDDocumentOutline documentOutline =
pdf.getDocumentCatalog().getDocumentOutline();
PDOutlineItem originalRoot = documentOutline.getFirstChild();
PDOutlineItem appendedRoot = originalRoot.getNextSibling();
originalRoot.appendChild(appendedRoot);
if (removeRootOutlineSibling) {
documentOutline.getCOSDictionary().setItem("Last", originalRoot);
originalRoot.getCOSDictionary().removeItem(COSName.NEXT);
}
Thanks for the help!
