Any object in a PDF file may be labeled as an indirect object. This gives the object a unique object identifier by which other objects can refer to it (for example, as an element of an array or as the value of a dictionary entry). The object identifier consists of two parts:

• A positive integer object number. Indirect objects are often numbered sequentially within a PDF file, but this is not required; object numbers may be assigned in any arbitrary order.
• A non-negative integer generation number. In a newly created file, all indirect objects have generation numbers of 0. Nonzero generation numbers may be introduced when the file is later updated.

Together, the combination of an object number and a generation number uniquely identifies an indirect object. The object retains the same object number and generation number throughout its existence, even if its value is modified.
