There are incremental PDF files in the wild which define a too small
/Sizein the final part.I have initially seen this with an incremental PDF file where no object has been updated and the
/Sizeset to 1, although the previous/Sizewould be 24. During analysis, it turned out that loading the same PDF file in incremental mode would not fail, but with/Size 2(due to subtracting 1 in this path).I could not see any negative side effects when changing this for non-incremental writer mode in pypdf, thus the assertion appears to be too strict here. Instead, replace the assertion with a proper error/warning message and report proper errors on an index error when attempting to flatten the faulty PDF in incremental mode.
