In Example 3.9, the cross-reference stream (see Section 3.4.7, “Cross-Reference
(object 12), which are compressed objects in an object stream. The first field of
these entries is the entry type (2), the second field is the number of the object
stream (15), and the third field is the position within the sequence of objects in
the object stream (0, 1, and 2). The cross-reference stream also contains a type 1
entry for the object stream itself.
Note:
For readability, the object stream has been shown unencoded. In a real PDF
1.5 file, Flate encoding would typically be used to gain the benefits of compression.
