> We're finding that the OverlayPDF command line utility fixes problems
> observed when using the Overlay class. However, with the Overlay class we can
> operate it as a library call, but the OverlayPDF command line utility can't
> be, particularly given we work with PDDocuments.
> I've just had someone copy the entire OverlayPDF class into one of our own
> and modify it to accept pre-loaded PDDocuments instead of filenames. It would
> be far more constructive to extract the core logic into a library class and
> have the CLI class drive it.
> If we had a proper clone method it would be good to create a completely new
> PDDocument to serve as the new returned document instead of mutating the
> inputs too...
