Answer 1

This is a temporary fix, when you pass in the file in the append method, pass in import_bookmarks=False. This works for me

from PyPDF2 import PdfFileMerger, PdfFileReader
filepath_list = ['/tmp/abc.pdf', '/tmp/xyz.pdf']
merger = PdfFileMerger()
for file_name in filepath_list:
 with open(file_name, 'rb') as f:
    merger.append(f, import_bookmarks=False )

merger.write("result.pdf")
