PAC3 -> Error while parsing the PDF Document (Operator 'f*' not allowed in this current state.)

Hello all!

 

Document I am working on is attached. Sorry the form is in French, the English version passes with flying colours!

 

Here is the error I am getting in PAC3:

 

 

As you can see other than this one error I am ready to publish this form, however I have NO IDEA what it means!

 

Leading me to two questions:

 

1 - Is there a list of errors PAC3 and how to fix them somewhere?

2 - How do I fix this, without restarting from scratch? I tried running Preflight again, but it did not fix the issue, and I have no idea what else I can do.

 

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Cyndy

    The PDF is corrupted. Choose File > Save As Other > Optimized PDF. This should remove the corruption and eliminate the error you are getting.

    That fixed it!!

    However Pac3 now looks like this:

     

     

    As it is showing no Fonts, Content, Structure Tree, Structure Elements... does that affect the assistive technologies? Or do I have to redo all of it? Because the tags and contect and reading order all seem correct still.

    Oh crap that's no good. You may have had some additional options chosen. I'm attaching the version that I converted.
