------------------------------------------------------------------
The PDF specification states it is optional, but if there it shall be an
indirect reference to a dictionary. In your PDF it was a name. Thus, not having
/Info would be fine; having it as a name is wrong.

> {{Info}} key, eg:
> {code:java}
> << /Size 50/Root 8 0 R/Info /ID >>

> According to the [PDF

> the {{Info}} key is optional. PDFBox correctly handles the case when there
> is no {{Info}} key and no value is present, but in this case, the key is
> present but without a value.
