Thanks for the bug report.
I think this should now be working as expected. See t/rt120397.t for the cases that are now being tested -- if anything is missing, add a test and let me know.

In PDF syntax, an indirect reference consists of three distinct tokens that can be separated by any PDF whitespace, and even comments. For example, this is a syntactically valid indirect reference:
1 %eieio
0
R
PDF::API2 does not allow comments at all (based on reading the code; that is not a problem for my PDFs). But it does choke on newlines if the object is long enough that it has not all been read into the file yet.
This happens with:
1895 0
obj<</Count
253/Kids[1896
0
R
1
0
R
7
0
R
13
0
R
...
etc., with 253 entries.
PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::File::readval needs to read more data if it finds what could be a partial reference.

Thank you.
I’m afraid it is still not working. Attached is a sample 400-page PDF that it fails on. This PDF may not actually be valid. To keep the file size small, I made the pages Kids array reference the same PDF 400 times. Adobe Reader does not like this file, but there is nothing the specification to suggest that the same page object cannot be referenced multiple times in the Kids array.
In any case, it makes a good test. I am not sure where you would put this in the repository, but a simple
ok eval { PDF::API2->open("t/newlines.pdf") }
will suffice.

Can you update to HEAD and try again, please? I made a couple more fixes an hour or so after updating this ticket, and I'm guessing you don't have that commit.
The PDF you attached opens fine for me on HEAD (but not on the original fix).
