“Name Dictionary” not found in “document catalog” of PDF

Hi All,

I am working with a PDF parser and while parsing a PDF file I found that while reading document catalog of PDF, the "Name Dictionary" which I got is not present in PDF file but When I updated to Adobe Reader X it seems to be working fine.

So, I decided to check some of the other PDF viewers like Sumatra PDF, Nitro PDF & Evince to open the same fine in them and I found that all of them reported that the file is broken.

The PDF code for document catalog is as follows:

44 0 obj <>/Names 53 0 R/Metadata 17 0 R/AcroForm 52 0 R/Pages 41 0 R/NeedsRendering true/StructTreeRoot 34 0 R/Type/Catalog>> endobj

Here '/Names' tag has value '53 0 R' which is not present in file So, my question is how to handle this kind of error?

Thanks,

Pankaj
