What it does

Checks whether the PDF contains undesired characters after the end-of-file marker EOF.

If this is the case, the PDF is malformed. The last line of a PDF should only contain the EOF marker.

To solve this problem, you can do one of the following:

Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat and save it (using File > Save As ).
Process the PDF with PitStop Server (with the option Full Save enabled).
