pdf merge ok with 4.32 release but ko with 4.42

[Olivier Chenot]

Hi,

I face something very weird. When I use a groovy pdf merge function, it works perfectly well with scriptMaster 4.32 release but fails with 4.42 one.

Returned error is "ERROR: the document has no pages".

The script : you can find it on french forum : https://www.fmsource.com/topic/45116-scriptmaster-manipulation-de-documents-pdf/#comment-262760
