Pat Hickey commented on PDFBOX-1895:
------------------------------------
Yes, I grok that. However, for me, it has widened the problem from strictly a
font (or hint about fonts) problem to include decryption as a possible culprit.
> Modifying a damaged PDF damages it further

> Key: PDFBOX-1895
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1895
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Writing
> Affects Versions: 1.8.3, 1.8.4
> Reporter: Pat Hickey
>
> When re-writing a document with font descriptions, Adobe Reader is unable to
> display the fonts in the document. Reader can display the fonts in the
> original document. The difference is that in the original document, the font
> descriptions are in lower object numbers than the font references; in the
> output document, the font descriptions are in higher object numbers than the
> font references. Is there a quick way to re-order them?
> Update: the PDF file in question is actually corrupt, but somehow modifying
> it with PDFBox causes it to no longer be readable with Adobe Reader.
