Hi Dax, This seems to be an issue with an invalid document catalog created by PDF Tex:
The catalog object looks like this (taken from your example PDF): 22 0 obj << /Type /Catalog /Pages 9 0 R /Names 21 0 R */Version 1.5* >> endobj Now, the problem is the key /Version 1.6. According to the PDF Reference, Version must be of type name. So, /1.5 would be valid. Unfortunately, PDF Tex seems to write a number here, which is not valid. Please see the PDF reference. *Version* *name* *(Optional; PDF 1.4) The version of the PDF specification to which the* *document conforms (for example, 1.4) if later than the version specified* *in the file’s header (see Section 3.4.1, “File Header”). If the header speci-* *fies a later version, or if this entry is absent, the document conforms to* *the version specified in the header. This entry enables a PDF producer* *application to update the version using an incremental update; see Sec-* *tion 3.4.5, “Incremental Updates.” (See implementation note 33 in Ap-* *pendix H.)* *Note: The value of this entry is a name object, not a number, and therefore* *must be preceded by a slash character (/) when written in the PDF file (for* *example, /1.4).* Still, I committed a fix to PoDoFo SVN, to just ignore such invalid entries, unless in strict mode.
