Represents the "XRefStm" entry of the file trailer dictionary
object.
It is an optional entry defined as part of the PDF 1.0
specification.
It contains an integer representing a PDF numeric object.
For definitive details see:.
The ISO PDF Specification, ISO 32000-1:2008 PDF 1.7; Table: 15,
page 43.
The ISO PDF
Specification, ISO 32000-2:2017 PDF 2.0; Table: 15, page 57.
The XRefStm entry gives the byte offset of a cross-reference
stream in a hybrid-reference file. A hybrid file contains both a
traditional cross-reference table and a cross-reference stream
covering the same revision.
PDF 1.5 and later readers use the cross-reference stream for its
compressed object references. PDF 1.4 and earlier readers use only
the cross-reference table and ignore the stream. This allows a
single file to be read by both old and new readers.
