Topic: Incremental update on PDF 1.5 xref stream?
Conf: (P-PDF) What's Wrong with my PDF?, Msg: 163699

I am writing an application to update meta information in PDF images. It is working fine except for PDF files that use cross-reference streams entirely.
Here is my latest attempt at updating such a file, but something is wrong because the file is not readable by my PDF readers (sorry for the size of the PDF, but it's my only sample with an xref stream -- the incremental update part is attached below for convenience):

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I can't find any examples of increment updates on cross-reference stream PDF's.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
- Phil

P.S. I had originally used "/Prev 116" instead of "/XRefStm 116" the trailer dictionary to point to the previous xref stream, but this didn't work either. Also, I have tried defining more or less objects in my xref table (I even tried setting all other objects to free), but that didn't work either.
