           Summary: pdfunite introduces syntax error / illegal characters
                    (as per pdfinfo)
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified

                OS: All

Source file

I split the attached pdf with `pdfseparate`. If I then merge some of the
resulted files again with `pdfunite`, "Syntax Error" / "Illegal character"(s)
are found by `pdfinfo` on the resulted files. The problem could be triggered by
page 2 and 3, other pages seem fine.

Version: 0.61.1
Steps to reproduce:
$ pdfinfo pst-book-gog.pdf >/dev/null
$ mkdir sep uni
$ cd sep/
$ pdfseparate -f 2 -l 3 ../pst-book-gog.pdf %03d.pdf
$ pdfinfo 002.pdf >/dev/null
$ pdfinfo 003.pdf >/dev/null
$ cd ../uni/
$ pdfunite ../sep/002.pdf 002.pdf
$ pdfunite ../sep/003.pdf 003.pdf
$ pdfinfo 002.pdf >/dev/null
Syntax Error (69): Illegal character '}'
Syntax Error (70): Illegal character '}'
Syntax Error (79): Illegal character '>'
$ pdfinfo 003.pdf >/dev/null
Syntax Error (120): Illegal character '{'
