           Summary: pdftops-0.15.2 reports: Error (72): Illegal character
                    '}'
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general

pdftops from poppler 0.15.2 reports an error with the test file
LFW_20100401-bfrange.pdf from Bug 30521
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30521

Previous versions of pdftops do not report this error, so I think that the
problem is a regression in poppler rather than a problem with the file.
For example, pdftops-0.14.4 and gs-8.71 distributed with Fedora 14 process this
file without any errors or warnings.

/u/gnu/poppler-0.15.2/utils$ ./pdftops LFW_20100401-bfrange.pdf xxx
Error (72): Illegal character '}'

I added debug code to print tokens as they are read in poppler/Lexer.cc.
The debug log starts with the lines below.
It looks like the first stream isn't being read correctly.

read token 'obj'
read token 'R'
read token 'stream'
read token 'x^\�
Error (72): Illegal character '}'
read token 'xref'
read token 'f'
read token 'n'
