Yes, I watched the presentation by Dr. Hans Bärfuss after writing the
text. It is kindof scary.
There's a blog entry by him telling that he has a collection of about
100000 malformed PDFs.

This presentation by Bruno Lowagie (who is apparently one who asked
"nasty" questions in the session above) and Mark Stephens is also
interesting - nothing new, but it shows that they have the same problems
that we have: customers with broken PDFs.

A lot of people complaint about malformed pdfs and adobe not to force vendors to
follow the pdf but to support them by adding some self repair mechanisms to the
reader.
There are other presentations that I haven't watched yet.

I recommend the following one. It's about rendering pdfs, very interesting
