syntax

All codes

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

What happened

A token or structure did not match the PDF grammar.

Why

Malformed input.

How to fix

Use another copy of the file.

Example

1 0 obj << /Type /Catalog /Pages 2 0 R >> >> endobj

A stray >> where an object should end: parsing that object fails with syntax at its offset.

Data fields

None. The location is a file offset, or object with streamOffset inside an object stream.
