<pre>According to a representative of Abbyy Fine Reader, the syndrome was caused by
a "linerarisation error" in Abbyy Fine Reader 14 and it will be fixed there.
Note: According to VeraPDF the files comply to the norm.
According to the people of Abbyy Fine Reader, the error does not show up under
Linux with Poppler version > 0.50.
I could not really check this because I did not manage to exchange Poppler
together with all the programs depending on it because I did something wrong in
the build process. I only could try out pdftotext after cmaking version 0.66.0.
I had version 0.41.0 before belonging to Xubuntu 16.04.4.
I could not switch back to the original version of Poppler. After recompiling
pdftotext version 0.66.0 I applied it to a two pages pdf file created by AFR14.
It gave me the error message
Syntax Warning: Invalid shared object groups bit length
but despite of that it delivered the text extracted from the file and the
extraction happened without excessive memory or excessive time consumption.
Some detailed help, how to exchange Poppler and all programs depending on it, -
or even better - apt-repositories for Evince, Gimp 2.8, Okular, Xpdf and the
like, like ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp would be very helpful for me and other
users, who have no experience how to build big packages with many dependencies.
After I remade Gimp 2.8 (from the kesselgulasch-ppa) I could open a file almost
instantly, which still causes excessive memory consumption when trying to open
it with okular, which was not newly made.</pre>
