For example with the SPC-4 SCSI spec available from http://www.t10.org/cgi- bin/ac.pl?t=f&f=spc4r36q.pdf , I get: $ pdfinfo spc4r36q.pdf Syntax Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary Syntax Error: Couldn't read xref table However, the built-in firefox PDF renderer works with that file, as does mupdf. Both seem to be able to render the whole document and don't produce any warnings etc. Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/poppler/+bug/1282151/comments/3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2014-02-19T23:52:47+00:00 Albert Astals Cid wrote: The file is very broken, Adobe Acrobat for Linux won't open it either. We can relax one of the checks and open it, but I am not sure if it will break other files. Basically the problem is that the linearization dict length and the file length do not match, if i comment that check in PDFDoc::isLinearized all works, but i am scared it may break some other files. OTOH the pdf spect says it may happen that linearization dict length and the file length do not match and speaks about how to recover, but... Hib, what's your opinion shall we relax that check in PDFDoc::isLinearized and run a regtest ? Or maybe turn it into at least an isOk that checks all the mandated fields of the dict are there?
