Michael McCandless updated PDFBOX-1297:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: PDFPackage.pdf
Example document showing that ExtractText doesn't extract the text from the
embedded documents.
The document was created with Adobe Acrobat.
It renders fine with Acrobat Reader: I see the two PDFs and when I click on
each I can see their text "PDF1" and "PDF2".
