BTW, google-docs should not reference to objects it doesn't write into the PDF, i.e. xrefs 2 and 3 are marked as free in the xref table, but the catalog references obj 2 as /Outlines and obj 3 as /JavaScript. So the PDFs are faulty!!!

I have no doubt that you are correct in that statement, but as you probably know, google is so big that us minor players just have to work around them :-(
