Hartmut,

My tests show the same. An object
	10 0 obj
	Hello
	endobj
is not correct, but parsers ignores it if don't have to read it. I 
opened such a document in Acrobat and tried to save it as PDF1.5 (which 
instructs Acrobat to compress objects). Then it complains loudly.

So, in samplepdf I will replace all Hello with <<Hello>>, (Hello), 
[Hello] and make a note about the danger.

Thanks,
