---------------------------------------
Thank you for fixing this [~lehmi]!
> Restore backward compatibility between Overlay and OverlayPDF
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-2314
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2314
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 1.8.6
> Reporter: Laurent Yaish
> Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler
> Fix For: 1.8.7, 2.0.0
>
>
> There is a major difference with the way the overlay pages are handled
> between the Overlay tool from PDFBox 1.6.x and the latest OverlayPDF in 1.8.6.
> In the original version, when using a multi-page PDF overlay, all pages from
> the overlay would be combined with the original document. The latest version
> only uses the first page of the overlay.
> Example with a 6 page document and a 2 page (A, B) overlay:
> Expected behavior:
> A, B, A, B, A, B
> Current behavior:
> A, A, A, A, A, A
> Here's the reference to the documentation of the original behavior taken from
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/tags/1.6.0/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/Overlay.java?view=markup
> {code}
> /**
> * Overlay on document with another one.<br>
> * e.g. Overlay an invoice with your company layout<br>
> * <br>
> * How it (should) work:<br>
> * If the document has 10 pages, and the layout 2 the following is the
> result:<br>
> * <pre>
> * Document: 1234567890
> * Layout : 1212121212
> * </pre>
> * <br>
