Hi iText developers

The PdfReader class has a protected member variable called rebuilt, which is set to true in some cases. Therefore, this causes a DocumentException in the PdfStamperImp class as follows:

[start: Fragment of com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfStamperImp]
...

PdfStamperImp(PdfReader reader, OutputStream os, char pdfVersion, boolean append) throws DocumentException, IOException {
...
    if (append) {
        if (reader.isRebuilt())
throw new DocumentException(MessageLocalization.getComposedMessage ("append.mode.requires.a.document.without.errors.even.if.recovery.was.possible"));
   }
...

[end: Fragment com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfStamperImp]

Based on the facts mentioned above, there are some questions that bother me:

1. What are the characteristics of a PDF document that are evaluated in terms of setting the rebuilt property to true?
2. Is it possible to determine these characteristics by a tool?
3. Is it possible to change these characteristics so that the rebuilt property is not set to true anymore? 4. What is the exact idea behind this logic that leads to a DocumentException if the document was recognized as "recovered"?


I thank you in advance for your help and remain with best wishes
