| Subject: | Garbage xref stream. |
Here are a cross-reference stream and trailer produced by PDF::Extract. Notice that neither of the objects referenced in the trailer (1892 0, 1894 0) is listed in the cross-reference table, which goes from 1 0 to 45 0. While Acrobat and Apple’s PDF viewers can handle such a PDF (by ignoring the bogus cross-reference table), it is necessarily slower than it needs to be to read such a file, since finding any indirect object requires scanning from beginning to end. If fixing this is not feasible, you could save disk space by emitting the cross-reference table altogether. :-) (I tried removing all the numbers between xref and trailer and Acrobat still read it.)
