Your page has also a cropbox. You need to set that as well.
Alternatively, just take the widths of the cropbox and use them for the
new mediabox.

I am using PDFBox 2.0.2 and trying to add a cover page to my PDF. The
Cover Page needs to have the same dimensions as the first page of the
PDF.
I am trying to retrieve the size of the first page of the PDF using
the following code:
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(myFile);
PDPage originalFirstPage = doc.getPages().get(0);
float width = originalFirstPage.getMediaBox.getWidth();
float height = originalFirstPage.getMediaBox.getHeight();
However PDFBox is reporting the wrong size for a particular PDF file
that I have. It seems to be reporting the size as A4 when the pages in
PDF are not that size.
When I create a new cover page based on the code above and save the
new PDF, then I can visually see that the new cover page is much
bigger than the previous first page of the PDF. This is the code I
use:
PDPage coverPage = new PDPage(new PDRectangle(width, height))
// add content to coverPage...
doc.getPages.insertBefore(coverPage, doc.getPage(0))
Can anyone tell me if this is a problem with the PDF, a bug in PDFBox
returning the wrong page size, or something daft that I am doing
wrong?
The input PDF is available here for reference:

The output PDF (with my cover page) is here:

Thanks Adam
