<pre>I have a lot of PDF files that were edited by Adobe Acrobat for which pdfinfo
reports a warning:
Syntax Error: Marked object is wrong type (boolean)
I believe I have located the problem: This warning is emitted when the Marked
key in the MarkInfo entry in the document catalog has a value of "false". That
*should* be an allowed value, but pdfinfo emits the warning due to the
following code in Catalog.cc (within getMarkInfo):
if (catDict.isDict()) {
Object markInfoDict = catDict.dictLookup("MarkInfo");
if (markInfoDict.isDict()) {
Object value = markInfoDict.dictLookup("Marked");
if (value.isBool() && value.getBool())
markInfo |= markInfoMarked;
else if (!value.isNull())
error(errSyntaxError, -1, "Marked object is wrong type ({0:s})",
value.getTypeName());
There is no problem when the Marked key has a value of true, or if it is
omitted altogether.
This issue appears in poppler 0.66, and as far back as poppler 0.39.</pre>
