Original document

When editing and saving the PDF form available at http://www.oiq.qc.ca/Documents/DAP/permis/formulaire_inscription_examen_prof-fr.pdf, the resulting PDF is not open-able in Adobe Reader X (10.1.1).

When trying to open the document with Adobe Reader X under Windows 7, I get the following error :

"There was an error opening this document. There was a problem reading this document (14)."

Proof-of-concept patch

I'm attaching a proof-of-concept patch that seems to fix the issue.
It outputs a XRef stream (instead of a table) if the newest XRef is a stream (as it's the case with this document).
I couldn't find in the PDF specs the reason why it works.
