Bug Description

After upgrade to KDE Neon 22.04, PdfMod starts, but when I try to open a pdf file it say cannot open pdf document.
From a terminal I get this error:
"Caught an exception - PdfSharp.Pdf.IO.PdfReaderException: Cannot handle iref streams. The current implementation of PDFsharp cannot handle this PDF feature introduced with Acrobat 6. (in `PdfSharp')"

I'm using the last (0.9.1) release of PDF Mod and my SO is KDE Neon:

I noticed that the problem is also in Kubuntu 22.04 lts, and in a virtualbox release of KDE Neon 20.04.
But some pdf can be opened (more or less the 2%).

I noticed also that if I delete all its metadata (with pdf-arranger) I can open a pdf with pdfmod.

Indeed, the program crashes even when I try to modify metadata within itself.

summary: - pdfmod crashes opening pdf files (or not opens them)
+ pdfmod doesn't open pdf with metadata
