Unknown xref type: 3 #94

Hello everyone,

I have a pdf document that is not read by PyPDF4 because it has an xref table type 3. PyPDF4 only implements xref types up to 2, which is all that is specified by the PDF 1.7 2008 specification, but the PDF-file is readable in Acrobat Reader without issues.

Is it possible this is part of the PDF 2.0 spec? Does anyone know what a type 3 xref is and how it should be read?

Thanks!
