Hi All,

I've built a minimal breaking example.

See doc.tex , flu.pdf (it works) and matrix.pdf (including it breaks).

$ xelatex doc.tex
...
<use  "matrix.pdf"  page37> <use  "matrix.pdf"  page37> [38] (./doc.aux)
** WARNING ** Could not find any valid object.
** WARNING ** Could not find a value in dictionary object.
** WARNING ** Didn't find "endobj".
** ERROR ** pdf_link_obj(): passed invalid object.



Here's my xelatex version:

xelatex --version
XeTeX 3.1415926-2.2-0.9997.4 (TeX Live 2010)
kpathsea version 6.0.0

Hope it helps.

Can you guy replicate it with the attached files?

Cheers!
