Please use "overlay" instead of "OverlayPDF". This is a documentation bug.

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:
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:
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 enthält. 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:
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
