Hello everyone.

I'd like to bring your attention to something that might be a bug in 
PdfSmartCopy (but maybe it's just a feature - who knows?)

Ok, here is the issue (occuring with todays svn snapshot):


Merging two Pdfs using PdfSmartCopy corrupts internal links between different 
pages.
This does not happen with when using PdfCopy!

Paulo fixed this in PdfCopy.copyIndirect in svn commit number 2627.

However PdfSmartCopy duplicates the same code and this specific part was not 
fixed for PdfSmartCopy.


The easiest solution is to copy the missing code from PdfCopy.copyIndirect to 
PdfSmartCopy.copyIndirect.

However preferable would be to modularize copyIndirect in such a way that no 
code needs to be duplicated.

I tried to figure out a solution so I could provide a patch but I utterly 
failed due to the recursion inside copyIndirect calling copyObject internally 
together.

Maybe someone more into it comes up with a better solution?


Best regards,

Ludger
