1. Just open the file using PDF JS, https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html?file=https://d29xdxvhssor07.cloudfront.net/testfolder/video/error.pdf

The console shows inconsistent generation in XRef.

[sridhard]

Yes. But all other PDF viewers are able to display it. So it is better if pdfjs consider this and recover the broken xref.

Many pdf editors/writers are generating these kind of docs. The one we share is generated with foxit which is one of the popular writer/editor

Indeed, we always try to recover data if we can. Marking as corrupted PDF for now so we can look into have to address this.

Closing since the PDF file is not available anymore and we just landed a commit that might have fixed this in #10392.
