Oops, I was wrong.  The method is called 'importpage', not 'openpage'.

I didn't realize you were using embedded fonts.  From what I understand, importpage calls importPageIntoForm, which copies the fonts' resources.  That means an embedded font will only be embedded once, at the beginning of the document.

And like I said, importpage will only copy.  If you want to change font, or change colour, or re-arrange things, you can only do that from the original source.  PDF::API2 cannot extract content from a page; so you cannot change it, only copy it.
