VERY TRUE - and by design. >>and validated the file against "JHOVE" a standard java based validation >> tool and says the file is valid and well formed. > >No validation tool I've yet come across is perfect. Thus, a tool saying >*the >file is valid and well formed* only means that the tool did *find* no >problem. It does not mean that there *is* no problem. Also correct- no existing tool does 100% validationŠbecause there is no definition of "100% valid" in the context of PDF. I gave a presentation about two years ago on the complexities of PDF validation that you are welcome to review at <http://drops.pdfsages.com/dDcd>.
