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
