This corruption was mild but universal. Most PDF tools can cope with the corrupted PDFs, but I recommend upgrading from 1.40 to 1.41 as soon as possible. This bug was introduced in version 1.40 — version 1.12 does not have this bug.· Fixed a bug that prevented XFDF form data from being passed to pdftk via stdin.· Commented out some unused code from pdftk.cc.
