Best would be if i could do something like:
....
reader.consolidateNamedDestinations();
PdfDictionary dict = reader.getPageN(1)
document.add(dict.getContentAsRawElement());
.....
I know the getContentAsRawElement doesn't exists but
im not a pdf master, you are. Im asking myself if its possible to
do.
Else, im preparing myself to tell the bad news to the customer..
