Hello,
I took a quick look at the PDF in Acrobat Pro DC and XI Pro. In both cases the
viewer recognizes that there are 2 Pages but as soon as I try to image the
second page I see that the dimensions of the (second) page are 0x0. Acrobat
displays an Error 14 and a Control Click on the dialog reveals that Acrobat is
looking for/expecting a Dictionary Object. Only then is the page content
rendered for the second page.
If you have Acrobat Pro take a look at the Content Tab it shows that there is a
second page but the content for the page is empty (while it is there for Page
1). Running the Internal Preflight PDF syntax checker (Print-Production etc.)
reveals the PDF passes but doesn't acknowledge the second page at all. This is
also true of the Acrobat PDF Internal Structure viewer. Interestingly Adobe
Illustrator knows that there are 2 pages and happily opens the second page for
editing.
So probably safe to assume this is a corner case "issue" that Adobe Developers
didn't anticipate back in 1993 but back then you had 3 options for generating a
PDF, Acrobat PDF Writer, Acrobat Distiller and hand coding the PDF - there were
no libraries back then.
