Hi,

using identify for validating pdf prints the following warning.

Hi again.

Can anyone reproduce this problem and confirm that this is a bug.
If this problem was reported before, which thread shall I read therefore (could not find it)?
My problem is, that those pdfs cannot be parsed with 'com.etymon.pj.Pdf'.

pls help me.

It seems as if convert adds unused objects in document (empty ones) and double entry in xref table. In my test-pdf I found this one near the xref table.

I found the problem in coders/pdf.c

the "object" counter will be increased without outputing content.
The object counter has to be decreased again, or the increasing is moved inside the if. I moved it inside the if.


Here is the patch

         /*

Can the imagemagick guys give us a feedback if this will be applied ?
