Sorry for posting questions on PageCatcher here if its not the appropiate 
place, but it was the only one I could find.

I'm trying to load an existing pdf file into a data file using the storeForms
procedure like this:
d = pageCatcher.storeForms("s2papir.pdf", "foo.data", prefix="fourpage", 
all=1, verbose=1)

But I get this error:
password is ''


 placing pages [0] from s2papir.pdf into foo.data
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
 File "pageCatcher.py", line 1387, in storeForms
 File "pageCatcher.py", line 610, in parse
 File "pageCatcher.py", line 752, in parse_xref_entries
 File "/usr/lib/python2.1/string.py", line 214, in atoi
   return _int(s, base)
  ValueError: invalid literal for int(): f

Can anyone explain to me what might be wrong with the document? I suspect that
it might be that a font (helvetica-light) isn't embedded into the document. My
reason for suspecting this is that I have another file from the same person,
but with the font embedded and it loads just fine.
