PDF spec file is broken #184

Apologies if this isn't the correct issue tracker, but I didn't see a separate one for the website.

I'm trying to black-box implement the QOI format as a fun weekend coding exercise, but when I tried to look at the PDF on the website, it failed to load in Chromium, gv, mupdf, and even inkscape import. Running poppler's pdfinfo tool spews

Syntax Error (36274): Illegal character <98> in hex string

Syntax Error (36321): Illegal character <b8> in hex string
Syntax Error (36322): Illegal character <c2> in hex string
Syntax Error (36323): Illegal character <91> in hex string
Syntax Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Syntax Error: Couldn't read xref table

As I was submitting this, a new version seems to have been uploaded? gv can view it, but Chromium is still having problems

Works fine for me in gv and Chrome/Linux.

Nope. The timestamp of the file on my server is Jan 17 13:15 qoi-specification.pdf. So I guess there was a temporary problem with my server and/or your download!? I'm closing this issue since no one else complained.
