Subject: Updates to PDF 1.5+ files with cross reference stream are not rendering in Acrobat Reader
As reported in https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1233444. This is still a problem latest PDF::API2 blead. I have to do a bit more work to tickle it (e.g. adding a page) because the latest PDF::API2 now guards against null updates. use PDF::API2; my $pdf = PDF::API2->open("/tmp/test.pdf") or die $@; my $page = $pdf->page; my $font = $pdf->corefont('Helvetica-Bold'); $text = $page->text(); $text->font($font, 20); $text->translate(200, 700); $text->text('Test!'); $pdf->saveas("/tmp/test2.pdf"); With the attached test.pdf (for example), the output test2.pdf will fail in Adobe reader with "There was a problem reading this document (14)."

Note: I had the exact same bug in the Perl 6 PDF module, which I solved by re-outputting the cross reference table an cross reference stream on updates to PDF 1.5+ files. I am happy to submit on a PR for a similar solution here. On Sat May 11 13:38:12 2019, WARRINGD wrote: Show quoted text

Sorry I missed ticket 117184. Which already covers this issue and has some proposed solution. I'll reject this as a duplicate at watch that t ticket. On Sat May 11 13:43:38 2019, WARRINGD wrote: Show quoted text
