Either way - either more or less will invalidate the PDF.



At a certain point, it corrupts the document - apparently there are checksums embedded in PDFs.

No, no checksums...


Instead, the binary offset to each object in the file is stored in a section called the 'xref'. Thus even a single byte change will invalidate the xref for all objects after the one you are modifying!


Anyway, I'm running on Solaris 8.5.

A Solaris version of PDF Enhancer is currently in testing - and we'd be glad to have you try it out...
