Hello

I am having troubles using the pdfbox command line interface. I have downloaded 
the pdfbox-app-3.0.1.jar and saved it locally.
I am using Windows 11 version 22H2. On my PC Java is installed as follows:
[cid:image001.png@01DA3F03.32514690]

In the same local folder I have two pdfs, namely document.pdf and 
background_confidential.pdf. Now I want to overlay them using the command 
overlayPDF as described here: Apache PDFBox | Command-Line 
Tools<https://pdfbox.apache.org/3.0/commandline.html#overlaypdf>. I try that as 
follows:
[cid:image002.png@01DA3F03.CC952870]

This is slightly confusing in the first place since the documentation says the 
command to be called overlayPDF and not overlay as suggested by the error 
message.
However, I can of course adapt the command to overlay instead of overlayPDF. 
Leaving the other arguments unchanged I get the following result:
[Ein Bild, das Text, Screenshot, Schrift enth?lt.  Automatisch generierte 
Beschreibung]

In order to check whether there is a mistake concerning the formatting of the 
arguments or so, I try the command merge with the same arguments like this:
[cid:image004.png@01DA3F05.0F7C9460]
This works as intended.

So, first of all, is there something wrong with the documentation? Because it 
says the command is called overlayPDF but I have to enter overlay to make it 
understand what I want. And secondly, what is the problem with the execution of 
the overlay command?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Kind regards
Luke
