Corrupt result file when combining PDF files

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I'm combining a couple of large PDF files (>20 MB) into one using Aspose.PDF for Java (aspose-pdf-9.5.2-jdk16.jar). The resulting PDF file content is corrupt. It can be open with Adobe PDF Reader, put parts of pages are blank.


Below is the snippet of code I'm using to combine multiple PDF files, create bookmarks and set the default page mode. If comment out all the lines of code that set the default page mode, the resulting file content looks ok. However, if I take that resulting PDF file and combine it with another PDF, I get the corrupt file content (parts of pages are blank).


System is Windows 7 with 8GB of memory. Using latest version of Java 7. Using a 30 day license for Aspose.PDF for Java.


Thanks

// Collect the location and page count for each source PDF file

	final String docTitle = document.getLabel();

	final PdfFileInfo pdfFileInfo = new PdfFileInfo(docFileLocation, ""); //$NON-NLS-1$
