  Sat Apr 01 19:45:40 2017 pali [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: PDF::Tiny dies on "The filter is not supported"
Date: Sun, 2 Apr 2017 01:09:50 +0200
To: bug-PDF-Tiny [...] rt.cpan.org
From: pali [...] cpan.org
PDF::Tiny is unable to open PDF files generated by pdftex which is later uncompressed by qpdf. Problematic PDF is attached. Steps to generate PDF file: $ pdftex '\relax Test\end' $ qpdf --stream-data=uncompress texput.pdf out.pdf $ perl -MPDF::Tiny -e 'PDF::Tiny->new("out.pdf")' The filter is not supported at lib/PDF/Tiny.pm line 119. Problem is in autovivification of reference to perl array and fact that PDF stream does not have to have any /Filter. Undef is then stored into @filters. Attached patch fixes this problem.

Thank you. I have applied your patch and released version 0.08. (I am a little surprised to see someone else using this module already, considering I just wrote it.)
