John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-1895:
-------------------------------------
In a PDF file the order in which the objects are numbered does not matter, from
the PDF spec:
{quote}
Indirect objects may be numbered sequentially within a PDF file, but this is
not required; object numbers may be assigned in any arbitrary order.
{quote}
So the object numbering is not the cause of your problem. Without the file
there's really no way to know what's wrong, are you able to generate a
non-sensitive file which exhibits these problems, or perhaps use PDFSplit to
extract a non-sensitive page?

> Key: PDFBOX-1895
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1895
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Writing
> Affects Versions: 1.8.3, 1.8.4
> Reporter: Pat Hickey
>
> When re-writing a document with font descriptions, Adobe Reader is unable to
> display the fonts in the document. Reader can display the fonts in the
> original document. The difference is that in the original document, the font
> descriptions are in lower object numbers than the font references; in the
> output document, the font descriptions are in higher object numbers than the
> font references. Is there a quick way to re-order them?
