Post subject:  Header Checksum illegal on valid pdf

I keep getting exceptions on certain pdfs that I am trying to open with PDFSharp. The file does open in adobe and closes without prompting for a resave so it seems to be a valid pdf. Attached is an IssueSubmission project that reproduces this exception.

Thanks for your submission.

The header checksum is not valid according to RFC 1950.
I don't know how Adobe Reader decompresses this block (object 4 0 in your file). Maybe it does not decompress it and ignores it instead.

I don't see a simple fix for this issue.
Maybe the CompatiblePdfReader workaround will help in this case:
