**** Error reading a content stream. The page may be incomplete.
**** Warning: An error occurred while reading an XREF table.

**** Ghostscript will attempt to recover the data.

A valid XREF table should be exactly 20 bytes long.

  • 10 digits for the byte offset
  • 1 space between the byte offset and the generation number
  • 5 digits for the generation number
  • 1 space as delimiter between the generation number and the in-use/free flag
  • 1 byte for the in-use/free flag

pdf won't convert using ghostscript unless i've saved it in acrobat using 'Optimized PDF'

some times ghostscript fails in opening files due to XREF table corruption

try to repair problematic pdf with

pdftk
