Checks not catching bad PDF

pdfToolbox
1

Hi,

We have a bad PDF that crashes our RIP due to a badly formatted label on page 11. Neither pdfToolbox nor Acrobat can render the page.

I’ve tried running the checks: Image is not valid, Document is damaged and needs repair, Error in structured PDF, Font not valid. But they all return with “No Problems”.

Is there a specific check I need to run to try to catch this type of error?

If you need to check the PDF, you can download it from https://we.tl/t-vajcanVp3f

Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Syntax checks.kfpx (3.8 KB)

There is a syntax check that create here already hits on page 11 and following.

resavePDF.kfpx (3.7 KB)

You could use the resave PDF action that can rewrite the content stream.

This will recover (e.g. page 11) , but a few of them (e.g. page 12) will be empty.
