Bug description:
[Impact]
PDF files generated by simple-scan are not readable from Acrobat reader due
to incorrectly formatted PDF trailers. Other PDF readers ignore these errors.
[Test Case]
1. Open Simple Scan
2. Scan a document
3. Save as a PDF file
4. Open with Acrobat reader
Expected result:
PDF file opens and show scanned contents
Observed results:
PDF file fails to open due to error
[Regression Potential]
PDF files are generated slightly differently and other readers could
potentially read them differently. This seems low as the current generation is
clearly not spec compliant, online compliant checkers pick up the errors and
now don't complain. Evince continues to open both the broken and fixed PDF
files.
