Description Marcos H. Woehrmann 2008-07-08 19:47:10 UTC 
The attached PDF file claims it's a PDF version 0.0 and consequently Ghostscript
refuses to open it.  I'd dismiss this as INVALID but Acrobat Reader 8.0 and
evince both open the file without complaint so I think we should probably as
well.  Editing the file and replacing the 0.0 with a 1.0 allows the file to be
read, so that appears to be the only problem.

Command line I'm using:

  bin/gs ./3658038.PDF

Use '%PDF-' instead of '%PDF-1.' to recognize PDF files because PDFsharp 0.8.2
generates '%PDF-0.0' and Acrobat accepts this.
The following patch has been committed as a rev. 8827.

Regression testing shows no differences.
