[xep-support] 'Object label badly formatted' error

[Brett Karopczyc]

As a follow-up to my previous message:

After some investigation of this issue, it appears there may be a 
problem with the way XEP linearizes PDF documents.  Taking some sample 
FO files from RenderX's site (to make sure I wasn't using strange/bad 
FO), I tried to format to PDF with XEP 4.4.  When opened with Adobe 
Reader 5.x and 6.x, the resulting PDF documents indicate they are 
indeed linearized (Fast Web View enabled), but when opened with Adobe 
Reader 7.x, it states the document is NOT enabled for Fast Web View.  
My guess is that there is some problem with the linearization of the 
document that is causing the web viewing problem with 5.x and 6.x 
Readers, but is caught by some extra error handling in 7.x Readers and 
the linearization is ignored.

In fact, taking one of the PDF files produced by XEP and re-saving it 
using Acrobat Professional solves the problem entirely - the document 
is linearized properly for 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x Readers, and there are no 
problems downloading it from the web.  I'm really hoping to avoid an 
additional step in our workflow (opening the documents in Acrobat 
Professional and re-saving them) just to get a linearized file.
