Hello dear podofo users,
I was having some issues with an unloadable pdf file. Analysing the file, I
found out that Podofo does not allow a zero for the /Prev key inside the
trailer dictionary:
xref
1 5
0000790024 00000 n
0000000208 00000 n
0000789878 00000 n
0000000012 00000 n
0000790084 00000 n
trailer
<< */Prev 0* /Root 5 0 R /Size 6 >>
startxref
790136
%%EOF
When removing or renaming the "/Prev 0" key, podofo can load the file just fine.
But then the file will no longer be loadable by Adobe Viewer. Why that
happens, I don't know,
especailly since Adobe can load other pdf files without any prev key
without issue.
So to resolve this whole issue, I created a patch that ignores the
/Prev key if its value is zero.
See attached patch.
Greetings
F.E.
