Re: pdf - page count

looking at the source, i think that the first two lines are just warnings and unrelated to the third. The third is from this 'die' line in PDF::Parse in the ReadCrossReference_pass1() method:

  $_=PDF::Core::PDFGetline ($fd,\$offset);

  die "Can't read cross-reference section, according to trailer\n" if 
+! /xref\r?\n?/  ;
[download]

what it means? i dunno.. Are you sure you have valid PDF files? can any other PDF module/program parse them correctly?

The pdf is a standard file as far as I can tell. Adobe Reader and Acrobat opens it perfectly. The pdf is available at: http://www.wormbook.org/chapters/www_gaba/gaba.pdf	[reply]

It worked on my files. Yours gives an error: `Malformed xref in PDF file at C:/Perl/site/lib/PDF/API2/Basic/PDF/Fil +e.pm line 1230.` [download] Looks like a bad file to me.	[reply] [d/l]
