Thanks. I revised my mergePdfDoc() to do just that, and my test runs with
my problem PDF:
PDDocument document;
...
protected void mergePdfDoc(byte [] buffer) throws IOException {
PDFMergerUtility merger = new PDFMergerUtility();
PDDocument inDoc = PDDocument.load(buffer);
merger.appendDocument(document, inDoc);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
document.save(baos);
document.close();
inDoc.close();
document = PDDocument.load(baos.toByteArray());
baos.close();
}
