Hartmut,
ok, now it seems that \pdfobj{Hello} does not create a legal PDF object, as it's none of the eight types described in the PDF Reference section 3.2. E. g., a cross check shows that \pdfobj{false} is ok, a boolean value, while \pdfobj{maybe} does not work :-)
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, -- Pawe/l Jackowski P.Jackowski@gust.org.pl
