----------------------------------------
Hi Martin,
my interpretation of the code and the FDF spec this issue is not easily solved
as we would need to lessen some of the checks which are currently done by the
parser. These are fine and needed for a PDF but not needed for FDFs.
As a workaround one could either add the missing information to FDFs or process
the FDF using an own class/program.
How dependent are you on really using ImportFDF?
