Compliance Issue: Cross Reference Table

What does this mean?

The file has a malformed file Header caused by not using spaces or EOL markers in the cross reference subsection.

How can I fix it?

Use Solid PDF Tools to adjust the PDF File structure. It will adjust and correct Header, Trailer and File Markers to create a PDF/A compliant file.

6.1.4 - ISO 19005-1 PDF/A Specification:

In a cross reference subsection header the starting object number and the range shall be separated by a single SPACE character (20h).

The xref keyword and the cross reference subsection header shall be separated by a single EOL marker.

Any object whose offset is not referenced in the cross reference table shall be exempt from all requirements of this part of ISO 19005.
