cfpdf action="read" or "action="merge" followed by action="write" throws PDFInvalidDocumentVariableException unless a single PDF was read and it contained a LiveCycle form
(the following makes me wonder what's going on under the PDF hood)
Repro:
1) Download attached PDFWithAcrobatForm.pdf & PDFWithLiveCycleForm.pdf
2) Run each of the following 5 code blocks
This fails ("read" + Acrobat):
<cfpdf action="read" source="#expandPath('./PDFWithAcrobatForm.pdf')#" name="myPDF">
<cfpdf action="write" source="myPDF" destination="#expandPath('./PDFWithAcrobatFormFlattened.pdf')#" overwrite="true" flatten="true">
Actual result: PDFInvalidDocumentVariableException "An error occurred while reading source for the cfpdf tag. Error: Variables written as a file by specifying destination in a tag cannot be used again."
Expected result: PDFWithAcrobatFormFlattened.pdf created
This fails ("merge" + LiveCycle):
<cfpdf action="merge" source="#expandPath('./PDFWithLiveCycleForm.pdf')#" pages="*" name="myPDF">
<cfpdf action="write" source="myPDF" destination="#expandPath('./PDFWithLiveCycleFormMergedFlattened.pdf')#" overwrite="true" flatten="true">
Actual result: PDFInvalidDocumentVariableException "An error occurred while reading source for the cfpdf tag. Error: Variables written as a file by specifying destination in a tag cannot be used again."
Expected result: PDFWithLiveCycleFormMergedFlattened.pdf created
