[Bug 1397413] Re: QPDF: Exception: operation for Name object attempted on object of wrong type

 

In the meantime, I was able to debug and found the issue : basically
there is key 'Type' somewhere in the treee but the key is not a 'name'
as expected but a string.

I browsed a bit the spec (PDF) and it does seem to suggest Type should
always be a "name". However, other tools seem to not care about that and
linearize the file (acrobat pro, pdftron). No preflight errors either
from acrobat.

Thoughts ?
