How best to find syntax errors in a PDF

$

Hi,

 

I want to find out the best way for an end user to identify syntax errors in a PDF, such as "expected a dict object", which might occur when a user opens the PDF. I usually find these when using the Acrobat SDK to parse a PDF in some way. However, for an end-user, a tool would be necessary.

 

Using the Acrobat preflight tool enables you to browse the structure of a PDF and potentially see errors but that is not suitable for anyone other than an expert. What I am looking for is a way to check a load of files for these sorts of errors in a batch process so that a non-expert can identify the problem files that need fixing. Is there a good way of doing that?

 

Thanks

 

David
