Howdy.
PDF-files are sometimes found faulty in arbitrary ways by
GhostScript, when I try to transform them. The reported problems do
rarely prevent me to proceed and I can ignore them.
Today however, I am confronted to a PDF transmitted by my social
insurance company, which does not look extraordinary at first
glance, nor very big, but PDF-readers take unusually long to open
it.
There was no special reason to do it, but I handed the file to
GhostScript for a transformation to monochrome via Tiff conversion,
just to see what happens.
I had not seen this error, before, maybe you know something about
it:
-------------------
The following warnings were encountered at least once while processing this file:
invalid operator used in text block
**** This file had errors that were repaired or ignored.
**** The file was produced by:
**** >>>> iText 2.1.7 by 1T3XT <<<<
**** Please notify the author of the software that produced this
**** file that it does not conform to Adobe's published PDF
**** specification.
----------------
Relating the message to the iText developers will not be awfully
useful. However, I have been looking for a way to do that. There
is a lot of rCLSalesrCY and rCLBusinessrCY and rCLKnowledge BaserCY and I have given up to get in contact with them.
Chances are, the difficulties have nothing to do with the error.
Cheerio
