content-unknown-operator

All codes

  • Type: warning
  • Kind: input (the input is malformed beyond what tolerance repairs)

What happened

A content stream used an operator ISO 32000-2 Annex A does not define, outside a BX/EX compatibility section; it was skipped (ADR 0023).

Why

A producer wrote a private or misspelled operator.

How to fix

Nothing to do; check the page’s rendering if the operator mattered.

Example

BT /F1 12 Tf 72 720 Td (Hi) Tj ET
0 0 1 setcolor

setcolor is not an Annex A operator and is not inside BX/EX, so it is skipped with its operands. data.offset is its byte offset in the decoded content.

Data fields

  • offset: the operator’s byte offset in the decoded content.

The location is object (the page for page content, the Form XObject for a form) with streamOffset in its decoded content; none for content interpreted on its own or a direct page.
