Greetings, I'm currently fumbling over how to get PDF::API2 to merge to PDFs together and retain the hyperlinks. It seems to wipe them out and I don't see any options for this. Could anyone shed some light on this? Here is an example of how they are being merged. I basically take 2 more more files in the $pdfFiles array and merge them into one file $name and optionally create bookmarks using each file name.

=begin nd

Create a merged PDF from one or more PDF files using each file name as
+ the bookmark

@param      string      $name       Merged PDF file name
@param      array       $pdfFiles   List of PDF file names to merge
@param      integer     $bookmarks  If 1 then create bookmarks
@return     int         1 on success, otherwise 0
=cut
sub createMergedPDF {
    my ($name, $pdfFiles, $bookmarks) = @_;
    if(!$name || ! $pdfFiles) {
        return 0;
    }
    my $new = PDF::API2->new;
    $new->preferences(
        -outlines => $bookmarks, # Show bookmarks
        -fitwindow => 1,
    );
    my $outline_root = $new->outlines();
    $outline_root->open();
    foreach my $filename (@$pdfFiles) {
        my $pdf = PDF::API2->open($filename);    
        foreach (1 .. $pdf->pages) {
            my $page = $new->importpage($pdf, $_);
            if($bookmarks) {
                my $section = $outline_root->outline();
                my $title = basename($filename);
                $title =~ s/\.pdf//i;
                $section->title($title);
                $section->dest($page);
            }
        }
    }
    $new->saveas($name);
    return 1;
}
