Hello,

I’m trying to copy a page from a PDF and adding it to a new (empty) document 
but I’m running into an issue when I close the source PDF file before I save 
the destination file.

Here’s a code snippet:
    // Load up some document from which to copy a page
    PDDocument documentA = PDDocument.load(new File("a.pdf"));

    // Create a new document and import the first page of the a document
    PDDocument newDocument = new PDDocument();
    newDocument.importPage(documentA.getPage(0));

    // Close the A document as we don't need it any longer
    documentA.close();

    // Save the new document, this throws:
    // COSStream has been closed and cannot be read. Perhaps its enclosing 
PDDocument has been closed?
    // java.io.IOException: COSStream has been closed and cannot be read. 
Perhaps its enclosing PDDocument has been closed?
    newDocument.save(new File("new.pdf"));

I get a similar exception when using the PDFMergerUtility class.

I need to copy quite a few pages into a single output document and I’d like to 
avoid keeping all those source documents open both at the source and in the 
destination document.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Simon
