That makes sense because once you start ripping the PDF apart and putting it back together you can end up with dangling or duplicate references / dictionaries.

I strongly recommend using hexapdf instead. It's much more accurate. See https://hexapdf.gettalong.org/

My mistake, sorry!

I use okular (and evince when I have to) and both work fine. And asciidoctor-pdf is fine too.

The problem arises when I use pdfseparate and pdfunite to extract just the TOC pages:

Both these produce the errors I mentioned (but I don't care because they work anyway and asciidoctor-pdf also works fine).

pdfseparate -f 1 -l 5 mybook.pdf /tmp/wx%d.pdf
pdfunite /tmp/wx1.pdf /tmp/wx2.pdf /tmp/wx3.pdf /tmp/wx4.pdf /tmp/wx5.pdf mybook-TOC.pdf
