Thanks for making an overview of what the PDF reference says about these entries in the xref table. I had already checked the PDF Reference yesterday, but I didn't know how exactly to interpret all this. Having a generation number 65,535 seems to be valid, but... why would we need an object number with such a generation number in a newly created PDF? > BTW, is there a special reason for all these free objects to appear in the > cross-reference table as in-use objects pointing to the invalid offset 0? That's what I hoped to find out reading the code; but PdfCopy has been there for a very long time, and I don't remember if this choice was "by design" or if it's "a bug that isn't really a bug". The PDFs are valid, but so is the question: "Do we need those entries in the xref table?" I delete every question that is related to RTF, as well as every question that is answered; trying to have an empty mailbox at all times, but this question was still there as a TODO. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
