Hi,
according to the documentation you should be able to call `pdf.reserveobj("annot")`, but doing so results in the error "pdf.reserveobj() optional string must be "annot"". The problem is that a null pointer and not the argument is compared to "annot".
According to the website, you are not ready for contributions yet, but I still attached a patch.
