Nope. My answer bothered me. If the getPageReferece return value was null,
none of your links would work. They won't take you anywhere... but they were
all taking you to the first page.

So I did a little digging. PdfWriter.getPageReference() will create references
to pages that don't exist yet. If there are more references than actual pages,
you get an exception when you close the document, but other than that it's
perfectly safe.
