Validity of a PDF File
Posted: 2006-03-30T12:46:06-07:00
I generate a PDF file with the aid of iText (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/docs.html). When I convert this PDF file to JPG, I get the following warming messages:
**** Warning: File has an invalid xref entry: 2. Rebuilding xref table.
**** This file had errors that were repaired or ignored.
**** The file was produced by:
**** >>>> iText 1.3.6 (by lowagie.com) distributed with the Software Developer's Journal <<<<
**** Please notify the author of the software that produced this
**** file that it does not conform to Adobe's published PDF
**** specification.
I sent these warnings to the iText people and they said:
The PDF is perfectly fine and not damaged or broken in any way.
So who is right?
BTW, when I display the PDF file with Ghostscript 8.51, I get this warning:
**** Warning: File has an invalid xref entry: 2. Rebuilding xref table.
Any suggestions?
