Remarks

ISO 32000-2 §14.13.2 (PDF 2.0): AF is an array of file specification dictionaries. A single dictionary is read as an array of one and a file specification string is accepted, both with an AssociatedFilesInvalid diagnostic. An embedded associated file without Subtype, or with Params but no ModDate, is reported. A missing AFRelationship means Unspecified and is not reported.
