Currently, when one tries to include page 10 of a 9 page document, pdftex quits. Is it possible to continue and return an empty xform with say 3.141592pt by 3.141592pt dimensions?
I don't know how difficult it would be to implement, but what would be the benefits? The document has an error which must be signalled to the user.
sure, but better have a valid file than an invalid one; in workflows where a naive user is behind an interface, the worst advertisement you can get is an invalid file
Also, is it possible in case of a 'fatal' error which is not that fatal, to finish the file so that we get at least a valid pdf file; the alternative is to delete the file; it's really annoying to get back a file which is corrupt. In that case, no file at all is better.
Agreed. I've added that as a feature request on Sarovar for further tracking (http://sarovar.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=87&group_id=106&atid=496)
