My workaround for the problem is PDF\API2\Basic\PDF\File.pm 1266c1266 < while ($buf =~ m/^([0-9]+)$ws_char+([0-9]+)$cr(.*?)$/so) --- Show quoted text

> while ($buf =~

m/^$ws_char*([0-9]+)$ws_char+([0-9]+)$ws_char*$cr(.*?)$/so)

Thanks (rather belatedly) for the bug report and patch. Based on my reading of the PDF specification, extra spaces aren't allowed on that line. However, since the fix is unambiguous and doesn't add much overhead, I've added it anyway (with a warning so that the producer can be fixed). This change will be included in the next release.
