The file isn't encrypted. Not even with an empty password. Encrypted
files have an "Encrypt" entry.

Your PDF may not be content encrypted but it may have a permissions password attached to
it. The permissions security scheme determines whether it can be copied or printed etc.
You should put your PDFs through the actual adobe reader and look at preferences to see
if there are some permissions restrictions. These will have to be lifted if you are to
merge. Often there will be permissions restrictions with a permissions password of

You have to make sure the PDF is not encrypted in order to merge. If
it is encrypted you Need to decrypt it using PDFBOX calls (and for this you
need the bouncycastle jar file as well as PDFBOX).

Try using the latest 2.0 snapshot, recursive resources are handled differently
in 2.0, so the problem may not exist there.

Hi,
Yes, you can file a bug in JIRA, but if there's really this resource recursion,
the best that can be done is that have PDFMerger output an error.
You mentioned that you thought that the file might be problematic. Did you have
other trouble already?

Yes, of course, I meant the first file. I should have labelled it file1,
file2. Next steps?? File a bug?
Thanks,

It is the first file that makes the trouble, when trying to merge it with

According to PDFDebugger, there is a resource recursion. Either that or a
PDFBox bug.

Hello,
