Subject: $pdf->pages returns incorrect value
The attached PDF file has 5 pages. The "pages" function of PDF::API2 however returns the value 6. Distribution file name: PDF-API2-0.46.003.tar.gz Revision: 1.83 Perl version: v5.8.4 built for sun4-solaris OS: SunOS 5.8 Code for reproducing the bug: #! /usr/local/bin/perl use PDF::API2; my $file = shift or die "No file name given\n"; my $PDFfile = PDF::API2->open($file); print $PDFfile->pages, "\n"; Thank you in advance for taking care of this!

previous editions of the pdf-spec required the files startxref tag to be within the last 1024 characters of the file. you file has 2 such tags within this boundary. the latest pdf-spec requires the startxref tag immediately prior to the files end-of-file marker which leaves no room for trailing comments which are generaed by some real world applications. i have changed the search boundary to 64 bytes, which reads your file correctly and is unlikely to break older files. the fixes are available with PDF-API2-0.48 on CPAN.
