Detailed Description

Static utility class for validating PDF file structure.

Note

This validator operates on the in-memory structures produced by File_Initialize. It requires the file to be successfully initialized before validation can run.

In practice, initialization is resilient: when the primary xref parsing fails, the parser falls back to a full-file object scan (FindAllObjects), which recovers most malformed files. Only files that fail even the fallback (e.g. those using unsupported features such as unknown encryption) cannot be initialized and therefore cannot be validated. For those cases the initialization error itself is the diagnostic signal.
