// is those objects that we read from the file, and break all
// resolved references. At this point, obviously no one is still
// using the QPDF object, but we'll explicitly clear the xref
// table anyway just to prevent any possibility of resolve()
// succeeding. Note that we can't break references like this at
// any time when the QPDF object is active. If we do, the next
// reference will reread the object from the file, which would
// have the effect of undoing any modifications that may have been
// made to any of the objects.
