% pdf_rbld.ps - Rebuilding of broken PDF files (xref errors)
% This module contains routines that are used if we detect an error
% while reading the xref tables. These routines will scan the file and
% build an xref table by finding the objects. We also need to find the
% appropriate trailer dictionary. Note: One procedure is also used
% even if we do not need to rebuild a PDF file.
%
% This module cannot rebuild a PDF file which has had errors created inside
% of objects or binary data streams. It often succeeds with files that
% have had its end of lines converted between unix and dos versions.
% if true --> we have an object with duplicate object and generation numbers.
