Actually the remaining file is not untouched when there is an error
halfway, so maybe your viewer didn't do anything when the xref etc was
missing and fonts were unresolved ... all depends on the viewer i guess
(after a pdf update the viewer has to reread the xref at least and then
all objects it has cached).
Long ago I played with a temp file and renaming but that also was not
stable (at least not here).
