Hi Michal, I thought it would be a good thing for me to understand a little bit about the file structure of PDFs. So I started by writing a simple program to display the file structure of a PDF, based on section 7.5 of the PDF 1.7 manual. I looked at a lot of PDFs, as well as the one delinearized by PDFEDIT, and I see one thing that is definitely different: the cross-reference table of the delinearized PDF has no object zero.
In section 7.5.4 of the PDF 1.7 reference manual on page 41, it says: The cross-reference table (comprising the original cross-reference section and all update sections) shall contain one entry for each object number from 0 to the maximum object number defined in the file, even if one or more of the object numbers in this range do not actually occur in the file. So (with great hesitation because I am ignorant of the remaining 700+ pages of the manual), it seems to me that the problem with reading the delinearized output may be because there is no entry for object zero.
