I am getting this error with my pdf document.

Token 'xref' was not expected

The line of code that is throwing this error is
Using InputDoc As PdfSharp.Pdf.PdfDocument = PdfSharp.Pdf.IO.PdfReader.Open(inputPath, PdfSharp.Pdf.IO.PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import)

The file that I am using has no security and can be opened with all versions of Acrobat. If anyone has a fix for this please let me know

Can it be opened with Acrobat Reader 5.0?

AFAIK XREF and IREF are new features of Adobe 6.0 that are not yet implemented.

Save that PDF file in Adobe 5.0 format (PDF 1.4) and it should work.

Thanks Thomas.

The PDF Version is 1.3 and The PDF Producer is Acrobat Distiller 5.0.5 (Windows)

I have not yet tried opening with Acrobat 5.0 ans I have Acrobat 8.0 installed on my machine.

I tried working with another dll and that one is throwing this error.

'Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.'

Something is definitely wrong with my pdf. Does this error tell anything about the file?

No.

And "PdfSharp.Pdf.IO.PdfReader.Open" is only the entry point - the error occurs deep down in another routine, so this doesn't say much about the error either.

If there are errors in the file: if you open the file with Adobe Acrobat (not the Reader) and close it, and if Acrobat then prompts to save changes it has fixed some errors. Then you should save the file and try again.

"if you open the file with Adobe Acrobat (not the Reader) and close it, and if Acrobat then prompts to save changes it has fixed some errors. Then you should save the file and try again"

Is there a way to do this programmatically?

Thanks
