The reason for this bug is a off-by-one-error in PdfWriter.java line 312 of the included itext-paolo library where it should be 65535 instead of 65536.
Because of this, free entries in the xref table of the produced PDF documents are wrongly marked as used. As the data in the xref table is redundant, this leads only to a warning in ghostscript and can easily be fixed by e.g. processing the non-consistent pdf file with pdftk a second time: "pdftk wrong-xref.pdf output corrected.pdf" I will release a fixed pdftk version in the next weeks. ** Changed in: pdftk (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/924039 Title: pdftk burst command creates invalid xref entries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pdftk/+bug/924039/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
