I think the wording is clear (table 3.13): "(Required; must not be an indirect reference) The total number of entries in the file's cross-reference table, as defined by the combination of the original section and all update sections. Equivalently, this value is 1 greater than the highest object number used in the file. Note: Any object in a cross-reference section whose number is greater than this value is ignored and considered missing." So /Size 10 in the last xref table means the PDF has 10 objects and the last one is 10. > Is my assumption correct? Why does Acrobat not give an error than? "Be liberal in what you accept"?
