Do your input files pass validation?
pdfcpu val abc.pdf

[Irwan]

No, here is the result:
$ pdfcpu validate pp.pdf
validating(mode=relaxed) pp.pdf
validation error (obj#:13): dict=formFieldDict required entry=Subtype missing

And I read your specification in validate section

I get the the pdf file from my client, and I can't instructed them to change the format of their pdf output.

Do you have any another suggestion ?
