      Description

      When flattening, the elements in the structure tree are not removed nor adjusted (to the form xobject). An example can be found at Root/StructTreeRoot/ParentTree/Nums/[31]/K/Obj in the file GovFormPreFlattened.pdf . This links to something that does not really exist anymore.
