When trying to read a certain pdf file (attached) I got the following error:
Malformed PDF file FileHandle=GLOB(0x90a8fcc) at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/PDF/API2/Basic/PDF/File.pm line 318.
It looks like the end of the pdf should not be
startxref 146169
%%EOF
but rather
startxref
146169
%%EOF
The pdf is produced by a clipping software so I can not do much about that.
When I added a space as an alternative to the check in File.pm it worked:
317c317
< if ($buf !~ m/startxref$cr\s*([0-9]+)$cr\%\%eof.*?/oi)
---
Show quoted text
> if ($buf !~ m/startxref$cr| \s*([0-9]+)$cr\%\%eof.*?/oi)
Not a very elegant solution, but it seems to work.
