Hi

I have a problem using qpdf (http://qpdf.sourceforge.net/) with context beta since 2011.02.08. Don't really know whose fault it is, but there might be something wrong with mkiv.

All I want to do is generating a linearized (web optimized) pdf using qpdf as hinted on this list (see http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/055626.html). I was able to use it until context beta 2011.02.08, and getting an error since.

Here's what I'm doing:

1) test.tex contains %%% \starttext Hello world! \stoptext %%%

2) running "context test.tex" to make the pdf

3) running "qpdf --linearize test.pdf out.pdf" which creates the optimized out.pdf

So up until and including context beta 2011.02.05 everything was working. --- reviczky@calcium ~/Desktop % qpdf --linearize test.pdf out.pdf reviczky@calcium ~/Desktop % ---

But since beta 2011.02.08 (10:06) I get just a very brief error: --- reviczky@calcium ~/Desktop % qpdf --linearize test.pdf out.pdf operation for Name object attempted on object of wrong type 2 reviczky@calcium ~/Desktop % :( ---

Does anyone have a clue what might go wrong here? Does context beta (mkiv) generates broken pdf's now? How can I check that? qpdf isn't too helpful with that: --- checking test.pdf PDF Version: 1.6 File is not encrypted File is not linearized No syntax or stream encoding errors found; the file may still contain errors that qpdf cannot detect

best is to make two pdf files that are as small as possible and send them off-list to Luigi and me so that we can look into them.
