Seems like I recall that Adobe products expect the "startxref" line to be in the last 1000 bytes of the PDF. However, if comment lines are inserted just ahead of the "startxref" line the PDF structure would be preserved and the "startxref" would still be where consumers expect it to be. Of course, any application looking for this data would need to know to look for all "startxref" instances, not just the last one...

Actually, APPENDING won't break the PDF in any way.
There are byte offset tables in PDF files, but by placing the comments at the end, they're still accurate when you're done. Not so with _pre_pending.
