<div dir="ltr">If the PDF is syntactically broken then maybe the error message could be tweaked? "Expected the optional content group list, but wasn't able to find it" makes it sound as if the content group list is required and optional is used as an adjective?

As far as I can see the PDF is syntactically broken and thus we warn about it, so there's nothing for us to fix. Do you disagree with my assessment? Cheers, Albert </blockquote></div>
