I have tried that with ghostview as well and that one is famous for being extremely careful about any discrepancies from the specification. It processed the file just fine as well. > Also, note that the error message from Acrobat reader 7 only > appears very briefly (maybe for half a second) before the PDF displays. I have noticed this message window in Acrobat 9 already. I have checked that by simply editing the file (e.g. add some spaces after xref entries; those at the end of file in format "0000759792 00000 n"). Acrobat have complained with the message window. Ghostview has printed: **** Warning: An error occurred while reading an XREF table. **** The file has been damaged. This may have been caused **** by a problem while converting or transfering the file. **** Ghostscript will attempt to recover the data. xpdf was silent about this and PDFedit is based on xpdf code so it is silent as well for this. The errors would have to be much worse to complain. [...] > My belief is that there probably is an error in the delinearized > document, associated with the incremental save information. I am not sure I understand what you mean by that. Delinearization will create a single revision document (so there is no incremental information). All reachable objects are just copied to the new document and then we construct a new xref table which points to those documents. > > > > > I have checked documents you have sent me in the separate (off-list) > > email but it is really hard to judge anything from that as the > > document is completely reorganized so I would have to match > > object-by-object which I do not have time for. > > > I tried this: I sent the original & the delinearized PDF to the Solid > Documents PDF/A validator.
