Here, you are iterating over a /Page dictionary (doc.Pages[1]), which
is a real dictionary.
No issues when iterating over real dictionaries with pdfe.dictionarytotable().
But the /Contents entry of this dictionary refers to a stream. And the
first part of
a stream object is a dictionary. But you cannot use pdfe.dictionarytotable() in
this case.
local doc = pdfe.open ('h.pdf')
local page = doc.Pages[1]
local a = pdfe.dictionarytotable(page)
print("page",a)
local b = a.Contents
print("contents",b[1],b[2],b[3])
local c, d, e = pdfe.getfromreference(b[2])
print("stream",c,d,e)
local f = pdfe.dictionarytotable(e)
print("whatever",f)
a stream object is a referenced object with a stream and a dictionary
