Remove qpdf_read_memory_fuzzer
2019-06-18 12:40:18 +00:00
2019-06-18 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Remove previously submitted qpdf_read_memory_fuzzer as it is a
small subset of qpdf_fuzzer.
Give up reading objects with too many consecutive errors
2019-06-15 12:51:54 +00:00
2019-06-15 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Run tests with sanitizers in CI
2019-06-15 19:34:29 +00:00
* Update CI (Azure Pipelines) to run tests with some sanitizers.
As a test suite, run stand-alone fuzzer on seed corpus Temporarily skip fuzz tests on Windows. There are Windows-specific failures to address later.
2019-06-15 15:37:10 +00:00
* Do "ideal integration" with oss-fuzz. This includes adding a
better fuzzer with a seed corpus and adding automated tests of the
fuzzer with the test data.
Give up reading objects with too many consecutive errors
2019-06-15 12:51:54 +00:00
* When parsing files, while reading an object, if there are too
many consecutive errors without enough intervening successes, give
up on the specific object. This reduces cases in which very badly
damaged files send qpdf into a tail spin reading one character at
a time and reporting warnings.
oss-fuzz initial integration
2019-06-13 13:28:38 +00:00
2019-06-13 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Perform initial integration of Google's oss-fuzz project by
copying the fuzzer someone from Google already did into the qpdf
repository and adding build support. This shift in control is in
preparation for an ideal integration with oss-fuzz.
Handle empty DecodeParams array for (fixes #331) On read, ignore /DecodeParms when empty list; on write, delete it. Some files have been found that include an empty list for /DecodeParms, but this is not technically compliant with the spec, and the only sensible interpretation is to treat it as if there are no decode parameters.
2019-06-09 21:19:07 +00:00
2019-06-09 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* When /DecodeParms is an empty list, ignore it on read and delete
it on write. Fixes #331.
Prepare 8.4.2 release
2019-05-18 12:56:37 +00:00
2019-05-18 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* 8.4.2: release
Fix Windows memory error (fixes #330)
2019-05-16 17:54:14 +00:00
2019-05-16 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Fix memory error in Windows-only code from typo. Fixes #330.
Prepare 8.4.1 release
2019-04-21 17:01:14 +00:00
2019-04-27 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* 8.4.1: release
Revert preservations of outlines with --split-pages The preservation of outlines didn't provide very useful behavior anyway as it copied all outlines but most didn't work. This implementation also caused a very significant performance hit and so is being reverted until a proper solution can be coded. The eventual solution will not be compatible with the reverted solution anyway, so it's best not to leave this in.
2019-04-20 20:30:22 +00:00
2019-04-20 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Compare versions between CLI and library
2019-04-21 00:03:59 +00:00
* When qpdf --version is run, it will detect if the qpdf CLI was
built with a different version of qpdf than the library. This
usually indicates that multiple versions of qpdf are installed and
that the library path is not set up properly. This situation
sometimes causes confusing behavior for users who are not actually
running the version of qpdf they think they are running.
Add --remove-page-labels option (fixes #317)
2019-04-20 23:13:49 +00:00
* Add parameter --remove-page-labels to remove page labels from
output. In qpdf 8.3.0, the behavior changed so that page labels
were preserved when merging and splitting files. Some users were
relying on the fact that if you ran qpdf --empty --pages ... all
page labels were dropped. This option makes it possible to get
that behavior if it is explicitly desired. Fixes #317.
Add --keep-files-open-threshold (fixes #288)
2019-04-20 22:46:33 +00:00
* Add parameter --keep-files-open-threshold to override the
maximum number of files that qpdf will allow to be kept open at
once. Fixes #288.
Prepare 8.4.1 release
2019-04-21 17:01:14 +00:00
* Handle Unicode characters in filenames properly on Windows. The
changes to support Unicode on the CLI in Windows broke Unicode
filenames on that platform. Fixes #298.
Support Unicode in filenames (fixes #298)
2019-04-20 22:14:32 +00:00
Tighten isPageObject (fixes #310)
2019-04-20 21:47:51 +00:00
* Slightly tighten logic that determines whether an object is a
page. The previous logic was sometimes failing to preserve
annotations because they were passing the overly loose test for
whether something was a page. This fix has a slight risk of
causing some extraneous objects to be copied during page splitting
and merging for erroneous PDF files whose page objects contain
invalid types or are missing the /Type key entirely, both of which
would be invalid according to the PDF specification.
Revert preservations of outlines with --split-pages The preservation of outlines didn't provide very useful behavior anyway as it copied all outlines but most didn't work. This implementation also caused a very significant performance hit and so is being reverted until a proper solution can be coded. The eventual solution will not be compatible with the reverted solution anyway, so it's best not to leave this in.
2019-04-20 20:30:22 +00:00
* Revert change that included preservation of outlines (bookmarks)
in --split-pages. The way it was implemented caused a very
significant performance penalty when splitting pages with
outlines. We need a better solution that only copies the relevant
items, not the whole tree.
Fix json serialization for {x | -1 < x < 1} (fixes #308) JSON serialization was preserving the value as presented, but JSON doesn't accept decimal values without a 0 before the decimal point.
2019-03-11 20:21:27 +00:00
2019-03-11 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* JSON serialization: add missing leading 0 to decimal values
between -1 and 1. Fixes #308.
Prepare 8.4.0 release
2019-02-02 02:29:40 +00:00
2019-02-01 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* 8.4.0: release
Remove acroread from tests This hasn't worked or been exercised in years since Adobe stopped releasing a Linux version of reader.
2019-01-31 13:39:05 +00:00
2019-01-31 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Don't optimize non-8-bit images Also add test cases for additional coverage on image optimization.
2019-01-31 21:07:33 +00:00
* Bug fix: do better pre-checks on images before optimizing;
refuse to optimize images that can't be converted to JPEG because
of colorspace or depth.
Externalize inline images (fixes #278)
2019-01-30 22:56:47 +00:00
* Add new options --externalize-inline-images, which converts
inline images larger than a specified size to regular images, and
--ii-min-bytes, which tweaks that size.
* When optimizing images, inline images are now included in the
optimization, first being converted to regular images. Use
--keep-inline-images to exclude them from optimization. Fixes #278.
* Add method QPDFPageObjectHelper::externalizeInlineImages, which
converts inline images whose size is at least a specified amount
to regular images.
Remove acroread from tests This hasn't worked or been exercised in years since Adobe stopped releasing a Linux version of reader.
2019-01-31 13:39:05 +00:00
* Remove traces of acroread, which hasn't been available in Linux
for a long time.
Improve locating inline image's EI We've actually seen a PDF file in the wild that contained EI surrounded by delimiters inside the image data, which confused qpdf's naive code. This significantly improves EI detection.
2019-01-30 19:26:08 +00:00
2019-01-30 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Exclude space after ID in image data
2019-01-31 04:24:09 +00:00
* Do not include space after ID operator in inline image data. The
token now correctly contains the image data, the EI operator,
and the delimiter that precedes the EI operator.
Improve locating inline image's EI We've actually seen a PDF file in the wild that contained EI surrounded by delimiters inside the image data, which confused qpdf's naive code. This significantly improves EI detection.
2019-01-30 19:26:08 +00:00
* Improve locating of an inline image's EI operator to correctly
handle the case of EI appearing inside the image data.
* Very low-level QPDFTokenizer API now includes an
expectInlineImage method that takes an input stream, enabling it
Make inline image token exactly contain the image data Do not include the trailing EI, and handle cases where EI is not preceded by a delimiter. Such cases have been seen in the wild.
2019-01-31 20:51:52 +00:00
to locate an inline image's EI operator better. When this method
is called, the inline image token returned will not contain the EI
operator and will contain correct image data. This is called
Improve locating inline image's EI We've actually seen a PDF file in the wild that contained EI surrounded by delimiters inside the image data, which confused qpdf's naive code. This significantly improves EI detection.
2019-01-30 19:26:08 +00:00
automatically everywhere within the qpdf library. Most user code
will never have to use the low-level tokenizer API. If you use
Make inline image token exactly contain the image data Do not include the trailing EI, and handle cases where EI is not preceded by a delimiter. Such cases have been seen in the wild.
2019-01-31 20:51:52 +00:00
Pl_QPDFTokenizer, this will be done automatically for you. If you
use the low-level API and call expectInlineImage, you should call
the new version.
Improve locating inline image's EI We've actually seen a PDF file in the wild that contained EI surrounded by delimiters inside the image data, which confused qpdf's naive code. This significantly improves EI detection.
2019-01-30 19:26:08 +00:00
Handle direct page objects (fixes #164)
2019-01-29 22:01:36 +00:00
2019-01-29 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Inline image token value ends with EI, not delimiter The inline image token erroneously included the delimiter that followed EI. The ObjectHandle created from it was correct.
2019-01-30 19:14:46 +00:00
* Bug fix: when returning an inline image token, the tokenizer no
longer includes the delimiter that follows EI. The
QPDFObjectHandle created from the token was correct.
Handle direct page objects (fixes #164)
2019-01-29 22:01:36 +00:00
* Handle files with direct page objects, which is not allowed by
the PDF spec but has been seen in the wild. Fixes #164.
Resolve duplicated page objects (fixes #268) When linearizing a file or getting the list of all pages in a file, detect if the pages tree contains a duplicated page object and, if so, shallow copy it. This makes it possible to have a one to one mapping of page positions to page objects.
2019-01-29 01:13:10 +00:00
2019-01-28 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Fix logic for when to compress object and xref streams (fixes #271)
2019-01-29 02:43:06 +00:00
* Bug fix: when using --stream-data=compress, object streams and
xref streams were not compressed. They were compressed if no
--stream-data option was specified. Fixes #271.
Resolve duplicated page objects (fixes #268) When linearizing a file or getting the list of all pages in a file, detect if the pages tree contains a duplicated page object and, if so, shallow copy it. This makes it possible to have a one to one mapping of page positions to page objects.
2019-01-29 01:13:10 +00:00
* When linearizing or getting the list of all pages in a file,
replace duplicated page objects with a shallow copy of the page
object. Linearization and all page manipulation APIs require page
objects to be unique. Pages that were originally duplicated will
still share contents and any other indirect resources. Fixes #268.
Convert pages to form XObjects Support conversion of pages to form XObjects and placement of form XObjects on pages.
2019-01-26 21:48:48 +00:00
2019-01-26 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add --overlay and --underlay to qpdf CLI (fixes #207)
2019-01-26 23:45:34 +00:00
* Add --overlay and --underlay options. Fixes #207.
Example of form XObject, page overlay
2019-01-26 22:33:06 +00:00
* Create examples/pdf-overlay-page.cc to demonstrate use of
page/form XObject interaction
Convert pages to form XObjects Support conversion of pages to form XObjects and placement of form XObjects on pages.
2019-01-26 21:48:48 +00:00
* Add new methods QPDFPageObjectHelper::getFormXObjectForPage,
which creates a form XObject equivalent to a page, and
QPDFObjectHandle::placeFormXObject, which generates content stream
code to placing a form XObject on a page.
Handle inheritable page attributes Add getAttribute for handling inheritable page attributes, and fix getPageImages and annotation flattening code to use it.
2019-01-25 11:55:31 +00:00
2019-01-25 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add QPDFObjectHandle::getUniqueResourceName
2019-01-25 23:15:23 +00:00
* Add new method QPDFObjectHandle::getUniqueResourceName() to
return an unused key available to be used in a resource
dictionary.
Handle inheritable page attributes Add getAttribute for handling inheritable page attributes, and fix getPageImages and annotation flattening code to use it.
2019-01-25 11:55:31 +00:00
* Add new method QPDFPageObjectHelper::getAttribute() that
properly handles inherited attributes and allows for creation of a
copy of shared attributes. This is very useful if you are getting
an attribute of a page dictionary with the intent to modify it
privately for that page.
* Fix QPDFPageObjectHelper::getPageImages (and the legacy
QPDFObjectHandle::getPageImages()) to properly handle images in
inherited resources dictionaries.
When flattening, remove annotations with no appearance stream With the exception of form field annotations when /NeedAppearances is true, remove annotations that don't have appearance streams when flattening. There is no reason to keep these when flattening since they are invisible. This may include unchecked checkboxes, unshown popup windows, etc.
2019-01-21 01:40:56 +00:00
2019-01-20 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Handle fallback font size in text appearances If we end up using our fallback font size when generating appearances for text fields, reflect that in the Tf operator used in the appearance stream.
2019-01-21 03:48:24 +00:00
* Tweak the content code generated for variable text fields to
better handle font sizes and multi-line text.
Fix omissions in text appearance generation When generating appearance streams for variable text annotations, properly handle the cases of there being no appearance dictionary, no appearance stream, or an appearance stream with no BMC..EMC marker.
2019-01-21 02:52:44 +00:00
* When generating appearance streams for variable text
annotations, properly handle the cases of there being no
appearance dictionary, no appearance stream, or an appearance
stream with no BMC..EMC marker.
When flattening, remove annotations with no appearance stream With the exception of form field annotations when /NeedAppearances is true, remove annotations that don't have appearance streams when flattening. There is no reason to keep these when flattening since they are invisible. This may include unchecked checkboxes, unshown popup windows, etc.
2019-01-21 01:40:56 +00:00
* When flattening annotations, remove annotations from the file
that don't have appearance streams. These were previously being
preserved, but since they are invisible, there is no reason to
preserve them when flattening annotations.
Implement password recovery suppression and password mode (fixes #215) Allow fine control over how passwords are encoded for writing, and allow password for reading to be given as a hexademical encoded string. Allow suppression of password recovery as a means to ensure that the password you specify is actually the right one.
2019-01-18 02:51:30 +00:00
2019-01-19 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* NOTE: qpdf CLI: some non-compatible changes were made to how
qpdf interprets password arguments that contain Unicode characters
that fall outside of ASCII. On Windows, the non-compatibility was
unavoidable, as explained in the release notes. On all platforms,
it is possible to get the old behavior if desired, though the old
behavior would almost always result in files that other
applications were unable to open. As it stands, qpdf should now be
able to open passwords encrypted with a wide range of passwords
that some other viewers might not handle, though even now, qpdf's
Unicode password handling is not 100% complete.
* Add --password-mode option, which allows fine-grained control of
how password arguments are treated. This is discussed fully in the
manual. Fixes #215.
* Add option --suppress-password-recovery to disable the behavior
of searching for a correct password by re-encoding the provided
password. This option can be useful if you want to ensure you know
exactly what password is being used.
Add tests for shared font/xobject The tests are in a separate commit so the bug-fix commit can be taken as a patch for older versions.
2019-01-17 14:29:59 +00:00
2019-01-17 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Try passwords with different string encodings
2019-01-18 00:44:18 +00:00
* When attempting to open an encrypted file with a password, if
the password doesn't work, try alternative passwords created by
re-interpreting the supplied password with different string
encodings. This makes qpdf able to recover passwords with
non-ASCII characters when either the decryption or encryption
operation was performed with an incorrectly encoded password.
Add tests for shared font/xobject The tests are in a separate commit so the bug-fix commit can be taken as a patch for older versions.
2019-01-17 14:29:59 +00:00
* Fix data loss bug: qpdf was discarding referenced resources in
the case in which a page's resource dictionary contained an
indirect reference for either /Font or /XObject that contained
fonts or XObjects not referenced on all pages that shared the
resource. This was a "typo" in the code. The comment explained the
correct behavior, and the code was clearly intended to handle this
issue, but the implementation had an error in it. This is fixed by
a single-line change, which can be found in git commit
4bc434000c42a7191e705c8a38216ca6743ad9ff. That commit can be used
as a patch that applies cleanly against qpdf 8.1.0 and forward.
The bug was introduced in version 8.1.0. For the record, this is
the first bug in qpdf's history that could result in silent loss
of data when processing a correct input file. Fixes #276.
Add QUtil::possible_repaired_encodings
2019-01-16 02:06:38 +00:00
2019-01-15 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add QUtil::possible_repaired_encodings which, given a string,
generates other strings that represent re-interpretation of the
bytes in a different coding system. This is used to help recover
passwords if the password string was improperly encoded on a
different system due to user error or a software bug.
Add status-reporting transcoders to QUtil
2019-01-14 13:39:13 +00:00
2019-01-14 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Update CLI and manual for new encryption granularity (fixes #214)
2019-01-15 03:42:36 +00:00
* Add new CLI flags to 128-bit and 256-bit encryption: --assemble,
--annotate, --form, and --modify-other to control encryption
permissions with more granularity than was allowed with the
--modify flag. Fixes #214.
Modernize encryption API for more granularity Setting encryption permissions for R >= 3 set permission bits in groups corresponding to menu options in Acrobat 5. The new API allows the bits to be set individually.
2019-01-15 01:45:08 +00:00
* Add new versions of
QPDFWriter::setR{3,4,5,6}EncryptionParameters that allow
individual setting of the various permission bits. The old
interfaces are retained for backward compatibility. In the "C"
API, add qpdf_set_r{3,4,5,6}_encryption_parameters2. The new
interfaces use separate booleans for various permissions instead
of the qpdf_r3_modify_e enumerated type, which set permission bits
in predefined groups.
Add status-reporting transcoders to QUtil
2019-01-14 13:39:13 +00:00
* Add versions of utf8 to single-byte character transcoders that
return a success code.
QUtil::analyze_encoding
2019-01-13 14:41:13 +00:00
2019-01-13 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add several more string transcoding and analysis methods to
QUtil for bidirectional conversion between PDF Doc, Win Ansi, Mac
Roman, UTF-6, and UTF-16 along with detection of valid UTF-8 and
UTF-16.
Interpret . in --pages as a shortcut for the primary file
2019-01-12 14:21:52 +00:00
2019-01-12 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Allow adding the same page more than once in --pages (fixes #272)
2019-01-12 14:14:20 +00:00
* In the --pages option, allow the same page to be specified more
than once. You can now do "--pages A.pdf 1,1 --" or
"--pages A.pdf 1 A.pdf 1" instead of having to use two different
paths to specify A.pdf. Fixes #272.
* Add QPDFPageObjectHelper::shallowCopyPage(). This method creates
a new page object that is a "shallow copy" of the given page as
described in the comments in QPDFPageObjectHelper. The resulting
object has not been added anywhere but is ready to be passed to
QPDFPageDocumentHelper::addPage of its own QPDF or another QPDF
object.
* Add QPDF::getUniqueId() method to return an identifier that is
intended to be unique within the scope of all QPDF objects created
by the calling application in a single run.
Interpret . in --pages as a shortcut for the primary file
2019-01-12 14:21:52 +00:00
* In --pages, allow "." as a replacement for the current input
file, making it possible to say "qpdf A.pdf --pages . 1-3 --"
instead of having to repeat the input filename.
Add QPDF::setImmediateCopyFrom
2019-01-11 03:11:38 +00:00
2019-01-10 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add configure option AVOID_WINDOWS_HANDLE If set, we avoid using Windows I/O HANDLE, which is disallowed in some versions of the Windows SDK, such as for Windows phones. QUtil::same_file will always return false in this case. Only applies to Windows builds.
2019-01-11 03:28:15 +00:00
* Add new configure option --enable-avoid-windows-handle, which
causes the symbol AVOID_WINDOWS_HANDLE to be defined. If set, we
avoid using Windows I/O HANDLE, which is disallowed in some
versions of the Windows SDK, such as for Windows phones.
QUtil::same_file will always return false in this case. Only
applies to Windows builds.
Add QPDF::setImmediateCopyFrom
2019-01-11 03:11:38 +00:00
* Add new method QPDF::setImmediateCopyFrom. When called on a
source QPDF object, streams can be copied FROM that object to
other ones without having to keep the source QPDF or its input
source around. The cost is copying the streams into RAM. See
comments in QPDF.hh for setImmediateCopyFrom for a detailed
explanation.
Prepare 8.3.0 release
2019-01-07 16:11:49 +00:00
2019-01-07 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* 8.3.0: release
Add completion files for packagers
2019-01-08 00:56:46 +00:00
* Add sample completion files in completions. These can be used by
packagers to install on the system wherever bash and zsh keep
their vendor-supplied completions.
Add --disable-check-autofiles to configure
2019-01-08 00:56:36 +00:00
* Add configure flag --enable-check-autofiles, which is on by
default. Packagers whose packaging systems automatically refresh
autoconf or libtool files should pass --disable-check-autofiles to
./configure to suppress warnings about automatically generated
files being outdated.
Mostly don't require original QPDF for copyForeignObject (fixes #219) The original QPDF is only required now when the source QPDFObjectHandle is a stream that gets its stream data from a QPDFObjectHandle::StreamDataProvider.
2019-01-07 02:18:36 +00:00
2019-01-06 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Remove the restriction in most cases that the source QPDF used
in a copyForeignObject call has to stick around until the
destination QPDF is written. The exceptional case is when the
source stream gets is data using a
QPDFObjectHandle::StreamDataProvider. For a more in-depth
discussion, see comments around copyForeignObject in QPDF.hh.
Fixes #219.
Move utf8_to_utf16 into QUtil
2019-01-05 18:00:18 +00:00
2019-01-05 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Honor other base encodings when generating appearances
2019-01-05 18:42:31 +00:00
* When generating appearances, if the font uses one of the
standard, built-in encodings, restrict the character set to that
rather than just to ASCII. This will allow most appearances to
contain characters from the ISO-Latin-1 range plus a few
additional characters.
Add WinAnsi and MacRoman encoding
2019-01-05 18:13:16 +00:00
* Add methods QUtil::utf8_to_win_ansi and
QUtil::utf8_to_mac_roman.
Move utf8_to_utf16 into QUtil
2019-01-05 18:00:18 +00:00
* Add method QUtil::utf8_to_utf16.
Fix dangling references (fixes #240) On certain operations, such as iterating through all objects and adding new indirect objects, walk through the entire object structure and explicitly resolve any indirect references to non-existent objects. That prevents new objects from springing into existence and causing the previously dangling references to point to them.
2019-01-04 15:17:33 +00:00
2019-01-04 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add CLI flags for image optimization
2019-01-04 23:06:56 +00:00
* Add new option --optimize-images, which recompresses every image
using DCT (JPEG) compression as long as the image is not already
compressed with lossy compression and recompressing the image
reduces its size. The additional options --oi-min-width,
--oi-min-height, and --oi-min-area prevent recompression of images
whose width, height, or pixel area (width * height) are below a
specified threshold.
Support page collation with --collate (fixes #259)
2019-01-04 20:12:31 +00:00
* Add new option --collate. When specified, the semantics of
--pages change from concatenation to collation. See the manual for
a more detailed discussion. Fixes #259.
Add QPDFWriter::getFinalVersion (fixes #266)
2019-01-04 17:32:02 +00:00
* Add new method QPDFWriter::getFinalVersion, which returns the
PDF version that will ultimately be written to the final file. See
comments in QPDFWriter.hh for some restrictions on its use. Fixes
#266.
Don't call assert while checking linearization data (fixes #209, #231) Instead of calling assert for problems found during checking linearization data, throw an exception which is later caught and issued as an error. Ideally we would handle errors more robustly, but this is still a significant improvement.
2019-01-04 16:50:02 +00:00
* When unexpected errors are found while checking linearization
data, print an error message instead of calling assert, which
cause the program to crash. Fixes #209, #231.
Fix dangling references (fixes #240) On certain operations, such as iterating through all objects and adding new indirect objects, walk through the entire object structure and explicitly resolve any indirect references to non-existent objects. That prevents new objects from springing into existence and causing the previously dangling references to point to them.
2019-01-04 15:17:33 +00:00
* Detect and recover from dangling references. If a PDF file
contained an indirect reference to a non-existent object (which is
valid), when adding a new object to the file, it was possible for
the new object to take the object ID of the dangling reference,
thereby causing the dangling reference to point to the new object.
This case is now prevented. Fixes #240.
Add QUtil::utf8_to_ascii
2019-01-04 01:03:30 +00:00
2019-01-03 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Update release notes for 8.3.0
2019-01-07 14:26:27 +00:00
* Add --generate-appearances flag to the qpdf command-line tool to
trigger generation of appearance streams.
Add basic appearance stream generation
2019-01-04 00:09:00 +00:00
* Fix behavior of form field value setting to handle the following
cases:
- Strings are always written as UTF-16
- Check boxes and radio buttons are handled properly with
synchronization of values and appearance states
* Define constants in qpdf/Constants.h for interpretation of
annotation and form field flags
* Add QPDFAnnotationObjectHelper::getFlags
* Add many new methods to QPDFFormFieldObjectHelper for querying
flags and field types
* Add new methods for appearance stream generation. See comments
in QPDFFormFieldObjectHelper.hh for generateAppearance() for a
description of limitations.
- QPDFAcroFormDocumentHelper::generateAppearancesIfNeeded
- QPDFFormFieldObjectHelper::generateAppearance
* Bug fix: when writing form field values, always write string
values encoded as UTF-16.
Add QUtil::utf8_to_ascii
2019-01-04 01:03:30 +00:00
* Add method QUtil::utf8_to_ascii, which returns an ASCII string
for a UTF-8 string, replacing out-of-range characters with a
specified substitute.
Minor fixes
2019-01-03 13:17:59 +00:00
2019-01-02 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add method QPDFObjectHandle::getResourceNames that returns a set
of strings representing all second-level keys in a dictionary
(i.e. all keys of all direct dictionary members).
Add Matrix class under QPDFObjectHandle
2018-12-25 00:29:30 +00:00
2018-12-31 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Honor flags when flattening annotations
2019-01-03 16:51:58 +00:00
* Add --flatten-annotations flag to the qpdf command-line tool for
annotation flattening.
Switch annotation flattening to use the form xobjects Instead of directly putting the contents of the annotation appearance streams into the page's content stream, add commands to render the form xobjects directly. This is a more robust way to do it than the original solution as it works properly with patterns and avoids problems with resource name clashes between the pages and the form xobjects.
2019-01-03 02:44:10 +00:00
* Add methods for flattening form fields and annotations:
Annotation flattening including form fields Flatten annotations by integrating their appearance streams into the content stream of the containing page. In the case of form fields, only flatten if /NeedAppearance is false (or equivalently absent). If flattening form fields, also remove /AcroForm from the document catalog.
2019-01-01 04:08:57 +00:00
- QPDFPageDocumentHelper::flattenAnnotations - integrate
annotation appearance streams into page contents with special
handling for form fields: if appearance streams are up to date
(/NeedAppearances is false in /AcroForm), the /AcroForm key of
the document catalog is removed. Otherwise, a warning is
issued, and form fields are ignored. Non-form-field
annotations are always flattened if an appearance stream can
be found.
- QPDFAnnotationObjectHelper::getPageContentForAppearance -
generate the content stream fragment to render an appearance
Switch annotation flattening to use the form xobjects Instead of directly putting the contents of the annotation appearance streams into the page's content stream, add commands to render the form xobjects directly. This is a more robust way to do it than the original solution as it works properly with patterns and avoids problems with resource name clashes between the pages and the form xobjects.
2019-01-03 02:44:10 +00:00
stream in a page's content stream as a form xobject. Called by
flattenAnnotations.
* Add method QPDFObjectHandle::mergeResources(), which merges
resource dictionaries. See detailed description in
Add QPDFObjectHandle::mergeDictionary()
2018-12-31 22:12:38 +00:00
QPDFObjectHandle.hh.
Add Matrix class under QPDFObjectHandle
2018-12-25 00:29:30 +00:00
* Add QPDFObjectHandle::Matrix, similar to
QPDFObjectHandle::Rectangle, as a convenience class for
six-element arrays that are used as matrices.
Support zsh completion
2018-12-23 15:45:24 +00:00
2018-12-23 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Don't crash on @file when file doesn't exist (fixes #265) When @file is used and file doesn't exist, just treat it as a normal argument.
2018-12-23 16:46:08 +00:00
* When specifying @arg on the command line, if the file "arg" does
not exist, just treat this is a normal argument. This makes it
easier to deal with files whose names start with the @ character.
Fixes #265.
Support zsh completion
2018-12-23 15:45:24 +00:00
* Tweak completion so it works with zsh as well using
bashcompinit.
Document json support
2018-12-22 19:04:55 +00:00
2018-12-22 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add new options --json, --json-key, and --json-object to
generate a json representation of the PDF file. This is described
in more depth in the manual. You can also run qpdf --json-help to
get a description of the json format.
Support bash completion using complete -C
2018-12-21 17:00:13 +00:00
2018-12-21 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Allow --show-object=trailer
2018-12-21 19:30:22 +00:00
* Allow --show-object=trailer for showing the document trailer.
Support bash completion using complete -C
2018-12-21 17:00:13 +00:00
* You can now use eval $(qpdf --completion-bash) to enable bash
completion for qpdf. It's not perfect, but it works pretty well.
Add document and object helpers for outlines (bookmarks)
2018-12-19 02:08:53 +00:00
2018-12-19 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Preserve some outline functionality in page splitting
2018-12-19 22:01:56 +00:00
* When splitting pages using --split-pages, the outlines
dictionary and some supporting metadata are copied into the split
files. The result is that all bookmarks from the original file
appear, and those that point to pages that are preserved work
while those that point to pages that are not preserved don't do
anything. This is an interim step toward proper support for
bookmark preservation in split files.
Add document and object helpers for outlines (bookmarks)
2018-12-19 02:08:53 +00:00
* Add QPDFOutlineDocumentHelper and QPDFOutlineObjectHelper for
handling outlines (bookmarks) including bidirectionally mapping
between bookmarks and pages. Initially there is no support for
modifying the outlines hierarchy.
Add QPDFObjectHandle::wrapInArray() Wrap an object in an array if it is not already an array.
2018-12-17 22:36:06 +00:00
2018-12-18 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add QPDFObjectHandle::getJSON()
2018-12-17 22:40:29 +00:00
* New method QPDFObjectHandle::getJSON() returns a JSON object
with a partial representation of the object. See
QPDFObjectHandle.hh for a detailed description.
Add simple JSON serializer
2018-12-17 16:55:11 +00:00
* Add a simple JSON serializer. This is not a complete or
general-purpose JSON library. It allows assembly and serialization
of JSON structures with some restrictions, which are described in
the header file.
Add QPDFNameTreeObjectHelper
2018-12-19 02:56:56 +00:00
* Add QPDFNameTreeObjectHelper class. This class provides useful
methods for dealing with name trees, which are discussed in
section 7.9.6 of the PDF spec (ISO-32000).
Preserve page labels (numbers) when splitting and merging
2018-12-18 19:59:14 +00:00
* Preserve page labels when merging and splitting files. Prior
versions of qpdf simply preserved the page label information from
the first file, which usually wouldn't make any sense in the
merged file. Now any page that had a page number in any original
file will have the same page number after merging or splitting.
Add QPDFPageLabelDocumentHelper
2018-12-18 16:29:00 +00:00
* Add QPDFPageLabelDocumentHelper class. This is a document helper
class that provides useful methods for dealing with page labels.
It abstracts the fact that they are stored as number trees and
deals with interpolating intermediate values that are not in the
tree. It also has helper functions used by the qpdf command line
tool to preserve page labels when merging and splitting files.
Add QPDFNumberTreeObjectHelper
2018-12-18 18:08:55 +00:00
* Add QPDFNumberTreeObjectHelper class. This class provides useful
methods for dealing with number trees, which are discussed in
section 7.9.7 of the PDF spec (ISO-32000). Page label dictionaries
are represented as number trees.
Add QPDFObjectHandle::wrapInArray() Wrap an object in an array if it is not already an array.
2018-12-17 22:36:06 +00:00
* New method QPDFObjectHandle::wrapInArray returns the object
itself if it is an array. Otherwise, it returns an array
containing the object. This is useful for dealing with PDF data
that is sometimes expressed as a single element and sometimes
expressed as an array, which is a somewhat common PDF idiom.
Set up Azure Pipelines Use free Azure Pipelines to do Linux, Windows, and Mac build and test and to generate Windows binary distributions.
2018-10-11 17:35:07 +00:00
2018-10-11 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
ChangeLog
2018-10-11 23:16:26 +00:00
* Files generated by autogen.sh are now committed so that it is
possible to build on platforms without autoconf directly from a
clean checkout of the repository. The configure script detects if
the files are out of date when it also determines that the tools
are present to regenerate them.
Set up Azure Pipelines Use free Azure Pipelines to do Linux, Windows, and Mac build and test and to generate Windows binary distributions.
2018-10-11 17:35:07 +00:00
* Add build in Azure Pipelines, now that it is free for open
source projects.
Add --keep-files-open flag (fixes #237)
2018-08-18 13:47:39 +00:00
2018-08-18 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Prepare 8.2.1 release
2018-08-18 14:56:19 +00:00
* 8.2.1: release
Add --keep-files-open flag (fixes #237)
2018-08-18 13:47:39 +00:00
* Add new option --keep-files-open=[yn] to control whether qpdf
keeps files open when merging. Prior to version 8.1.0, qpdf always
kept all files open, but this meant that the number of files that
could be merged was limited by the operating system's open file
limit. Version 8.1.0 opened files as they were referenced, but
this caused a major performance impact. Version 8.2.0 optimized
the performance but did so in a way that, for local file systems,
there was a small but unavoidable performance hit, but for
networked file systems, the performance impact could be very high.
Starting with version 8.2.1, the default behavior is that files
are kept open if no more than 200 files are specified, but that
the behavior can be explicitly overridden with the
--keep-files-open flag. If you are merging more than 200 files but
less than the operating system's max open files limit, you may
want to use --keep-files-open=y. If you are using a local file
system where the overhead is low and you might sometimes merge
more than the OS limit's number of files, you may want to specify
--keep-files-open=n. Fixes #237.
Prepare 8.2.0 release
2018-08-16 15:29:32 +00:00
2018-08-16 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>

Clarify static vs. import library on Windows (fixes #225)
2018-08-14 20:28:52 +00:00
2018-08-14 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* For the mingw builds, change the name of the DLL import library
from libqpdf.a to libqpdf.dll.a to avoid confusing it with a
static library. This potentially clears the way for supporting a
static library in the future, though presently, the qpdf Windows
build only builds the DLL and executables. Fixes #225.
New exception class QPDFSystemError (fixes #221)
2018-08-13 23:48:02 +00:00
2018-08-13 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add new class QPDFSystemError, derived from std::runtime_error,
which is now thrown by QUtil::throw_system_error. This enables the
triggering errno value to be retrieved. Fixes #221.
Pl_Buffer: reduce memory growth (fixes #228) Rather than keeping a list of buffers for every write, accumulate bytes in a single buffer, doubling the size of the buffer when needed to accommodate new data. This is not the best possible implementation, but the change was implemented in this way to avoid changing the shape of Pl_Buffer and thus breaking backward compatibility.
2018-08-12 21:26:40 +00:00
2018-08-12 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add --no-warn option to suppress warnings (fixes #232)
2018-08-13 02:20:40 +00:00
* qpdf command line: add --no-warn option to suppress issuing
warning messages. If there are any conditions that would have
caused warnings to be issued, the exit status is still 3.
Pl_Buffer: reduce memory growth (fixes #228) Rather than keeping a list of buffers for every write, accumulate bytes in a single buffer, doubling the size of the buffer when needed to accommodate new data. This is not the best possible implementation, but the change was implemented in this way to avoid changing the shape of Pl_Buffer and thus breaking backward compatibility.
2018-08-12 21:26:40 +00:00
* Rewrite the internals of Pl_Buffer to be much more efficient in
use of memory at a very slight performance cost. The old
implementation could cause memory usage to go out of control for
files with large images compressed using the TIFF predictor.
Fixes #228.
Fix infinite loop on small files with progress reporting (fixes #230) Turns out you can keep adding zero to a number over and over again and it just doesn't get any bigger. Who would have known?
2018-08-05 19:42:01 +00:00
2018-08-05 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Fix EOL handling inside strings (fixes #226) CR, CRLF, and LF are all supposed to be treated as LF; only one EOL is to be ignored after backslash.
2018-08-05 22:59:41 +00:00
* Bug fix: end of line characters were not properly handled inside
strings in some cases. Fixes #226.
Fix infinite loop on small files with progress reporting (fixes #230) Turns out you can keep adding zero to a number over and over again and it just doesn't get any bigger. Who would have known?
2018-08-05 19:42:01 +00:00
* Bug fix: infinite loop on progress reporting for very small
files. Fixes #230.
ClosedFileInputSource: add method to keep file open During periods of intensive operation on a specific file, this method can reduce the overhead of repeated open/close operations.

Keep file open while adding its pages during merge (fixes #217)
2018-08-04 23:58:13 +00:00
* Performance fix: optimize page merging operation to avoid
unnecessary open/close calls on files being merged. Fixes #217.
ClosedFileInputSource: add method to keep file open During periods of intensive operation on a specific file, this method can reduce the overhead of repeated open/close operations.
2018-08-04 23:50:21 +00:00
* Add ClosedFileInputSource::stayOpen method, enabling a
ClosedFileInputSource to stay open during manually indicated
periods of high activity, thus reducing the overhead of frequent
open/close operations.

Don't prune resource dictionaries on errors or by request If we are unable to filter a page's content streams, don't attempt to remove objects from the page's resource dictionary. Also provide a command line option to suppress resource removal in case we ever need this as a workaround for some bug or broken PDF files.
2018-06-22 14:45:31 +00:00
2018-06-22 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Prepare 8.1.0 release
2018-06-23 01:12:26 +00:00
* Bug fix: properly decrypt files with 40-bit keys that use
revision 3 of the security handler. Prior to this, qpdf was
reporting "invalid password" in this case. Fixes #212.
With --verbose, give information on processing merge inputs
2018-06-22 19:51:41 +00:00
* With --verbose, print information about each input file when
merging files.
Add progress reporting for QPDFWriter (fixes #200)
2018-06-22 19:22:29 +00:00
* Add progress reporting to QPDFWriter. Programmatically, you can
register a progress reporter with registerProgressReporter(). From
the command line, passing --progress will give progress indicators
in increments of no less than 1% as output files are written.
Fixes #200.
Add method to get count of objects in QPDF
2018-06-22 18:52:03 +00:00
* Add new method QPDF::getObjectCount(). This gives an approximate
(upper bound) account of objects in the QPDF object.
Use ClosedFileInputSource when merging files (fixes #154)
2018-06-22 16:17:36 +00:00
* Don't leave files open when merging. This makes it possible
merge more files at once than the operating system's open file
limit. Fixes #154.
Add ClosedFileInputSource ClosedFileInputSource is an input source that keeps the file closed when not reading it.
2018-06-22 16:15:22 +00:00
* Add ClosedFileInputSource class, and input source that keeps its
input file closed when not reading it. At the expense of some
performance, this allows you to operate on many files without
opening too many files at the operating system level.
Prepare 8.1.0 release
2018-06-23 01:12:26 +00:00
* Add new option --preserve-unreferenced-resources, which
Don't prune resource dictionaries on errors or by request If we are unable to filter a page's content streams, don't attempt to remove objects from the page's resource dictionary.

suppresses removal of unreferenced objects from page resource
dictionaries during page splitting operations.
Better support for creating Unicode strings
2018-06-21 18:03:45 +00:00
2018-06-21 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
When splitting files, remove unreferenced objects (fixes #203)
2018-06-22 00:16:05 +00:00
* Add method QPDFPageObjectHelper::removeUnreferencedResources and
also QPDFPageDocumentHelper::removeUnreferencedResources that
calls the former on every page. This method removes any XObject or
Font references from the page's resource dictionary if they are
not referenced anywhere in any of the content streams. This
significantly reduces the size of split files whose pages
internally share resource dictionaries. Fixes #203.
Make page range optional in --rotate (fixes #211)
2018-06-21 20:28:44 +00:00
* The --rotate option to qpdf no longer requires an explicit page
range. You can now rotate all pages of a document with
qpdf --rotate=angle in.pdf out.pdf. Fixes #211.
Add interactive form example
2018-06-21 19:54:02 +00:00
* Create examples/pdf-set-form-values.cc to illustrate use of
interactive form helpers.
Allow setting a form field's value
2018-06-21 19:00:00 +00:00
* Added methods QPDFAcroFormDocumentHelper::setNeedAppearances and
added methods to QPDFFormFieldObjectHelper to set a field's value,
optionally updating the document to indicate that appearance
streams need to be regenerated.
Better support for creating Unicode strings
2018-06-21 18:03:45 +00:00
* Added QPDFObject::newUnicodeString and QPDFObject::unparseBinary
to allow for more convenient creation of strings that are
explicitly encoded in UTF-16 BE. This is useful for creating
Unicode strings that appear outside of content streams, such as in
page labels, outlines, form field values, etc.
Add QPDFPageDocumentHelper and QPDFPageObjectHelper This is the beginning of higher-level API support using helper classes. The goal is to be able to add more helpers without continuing to pollute QPDF's and QPDFObjectHandle's public interfaces.
2018-06-18 19:05:53 +00:00
2018-06-20 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Implement helper class for interactive forms
2018-06-19 13:26:41 +00:00
* Added new classes QPDFAcroFormDocumentHelper,
QPDFFormFieldObjectHelper, and QPDFAnnotationObjectHelper to
assist with working with interactive forms in PDF files. At
present, API methods for reading forms, form fields, and widget
annotations have been added. It is likely that some additional
methods for modifying forms will be added in the future. Note that
qpdf remains a library whose function is primarily focused around
document structure and metadata rather than content. As such, it
is not expected that qpdf will have higher level APIs for
generating form contents, but qpdf will hopefully gain the
capability to deal with the bookkeeping aspects of wiring up all
the objects, which could make it a useful library for other
software that works with PDF interactive forms. PDF forms are
complex, and the terminology around them is confusing. Please see
comments at the top of QPDFAcroFormDocumentHelper.hh for
additional discussion.
When splitting files, remove unreferenced objects (fixes #203)

for page-level API functions. These classes introduce a new API
pattern of document helpers and object helpers in qpdf. The helper

Add C API for checking PDF files
2018-02-17 16:51:10 +00:00
* Add qpdf_check_pdf to the "C" API. This method just attempts to
read the entire file and produce no output, making possible to
assess whether the file has any errors that qpdf can detect.
More robust handling of type errors Give objects descriptions and context so it is possible to issue warnings instead of fatal errors for attempts to access objects of the wrong type.
2018-02-16 22:25:27 +00:00
* Major enhancements to handling of type errors within the qpdf
library. This fix is intended to eliminate those annoying cases
where qpdf would exit with a message like "operation for

dictionary object attempted on object of wrong type" without
More robust handling of type errors Give objects descriptions and context so it is possible to issue warnings instead of fatal errors for attempts to access objects of the wrong type.
2018-02-16 22:25:27 +00:00
providing any context. Now qpdf keeps enough context to be able to
issue a proper warning and to handle such conditions in a sensible
way. This should greatly increase the number of bad files that
qpdf can recover, and it should make it much easier to figure out
what's broken when a file contains errors.
Replace "file position" with "offset" in error messages Sometimes it's an offset in an object stream or a content stream, so file position is confusing in some cases.
2018-02-16 23:38:05 +00:00
* Error message fix: replace "file position" with "offset" in
error messages that report lexical or parsing errors. Sometimes
it's an offset in an object stream or a content stream rather than
a file position, so this makes the error message less confusing in
those cases. It still requires some knowledge to find the exact
position of the error, since when it's not a file offset, it's
probably an offset into a stream after uncompressing it.
Include omitted object description in error message
2018-02-16 23:34:43 +00:00
* Error message fix: correct some cases in which the object that
contained a lexical error was omitted from the error message.
Include filename in object stream parse error
2018-02-16 04:24:45 +00:00
* Error message fix: improve file name in the error message when
there is a parser error inside an object stream.

General comment in ChangeLog
2018-02-04 13:33:23 +00:00
* Changes listed on today's date are numerous and reflect
significant enhancements to qpdf's lexical layer. While many
nuances are discussed and a handful of small bugs were fixed, it
should be emphasized that none of these issues have any impact on
any output or behavior of qpdf under "normal" operation. There are
some changes that have an effect on content stream normalization
as with qdf mode or on code that interacts with PDF files
lexically using QPDFTokenizer. There are no incompatible changes
for normal operation. There are a few changes that will affect the
exact error messages issued on certain bad files, and there is a
small non-compatible enhancement regarding the behavior of
manually constructed QPDFTokenizer::Token objects. Users of the
qpdf command line tool will see no changes other than the addition
of a new command-line flag and possibly some improved error
messages.
Lexer enhancements: EOF, comment, space Significant enhancements to the lexer to improve EOF handling and to support comments and spaces as tokens. Various other minor issues were fixed as well.
2018-01-28 23:28:45 +00:00
* Significant lexer (tokenizer) enhancements. These are changes to
Inline image token type
2018-01-30 01:57:04 +00:00
the QPDFTokenizer class. These changes are of concern only to
people who are operating with PDF files at the lexical layer using
qpdf. They have little or no impact on most high-level interfaces
or the command-line tool.
New token types tt_space and tt_comment to recognize whitespace
and comments. this makes it possible to tokenize a PDF file or
stream and preserve everything about it.
For backward compatibility, space and comment tokens are not
returned by the tokenizer unless QPDFTokenizer.includeIgnorable()
is called.
Better handling of null bytes. These are now included in space
tokens rather than being their own "tt_word" tokens. This should
have no impact on any correct PDF file and has no impact on
output, but it may change offsets in some error messages when
trying to parse contents of bad files. Under default operation,
qpdf does not attempt to parse content streams, so this change is
mostly invisible.
Bug fix to handling of bad tokens at ends of streams. Now, when
allowEOF() has been called, these are treated as bad tokens
(tt_bad or an exception, depending on invocation), and a
separate tt_eof token is returned. Before the bad token
contents were returned as the value of a tt_eof token. tt_eof
tokens are always empty now.
Fix a bug that would, on rare occasions, report the offset in an
error message in the wrong space because of spaces or comments
adjacent to a bad token.
Clarify in comments exactly where the input source is positioned
surrounding calls to readToken and getToken.
* Add a new token type for inline images. This token type is only
returned by QPDFTokenizer immediately following a call to
expectInlineImage(). This change includes internal refactoring of
a handful of places that all separately handled inline images, The
logic of detecting inline images in content streams is now handled
in one place in the code. Also we are more flexible about what
characters may surround the EI operator that marks the end of an
inline image.
Lexer enhancements: EOF, comment, space Significant enhancements to the lexer to improve EOF handling and to support comments and spaces as tokens. Various other minor issues were fixed as well.
2018-01-28 23:28:45 +00:00
Refactor parseContentStream
2018-01-31 02:25:51 +00:00
* New method QPDFObjectHandle::parsePageContents() to improve upon
QPDFObjectHandle::parseContentStream(). The parseContentStream
method used to operate on a single content stream, but was fixed
to properly handle pages with contents split across multiple
streams in an earlier release. The new method parsePageContents()
can be called on the page object rather than the value of the
page dictionary's /Contents key. This removes a few lines of
boiler-plate code from any code that uses parseContentStream, and
it also enables creation of more helpful error messages if
problems are encountered as the error messages can include
information about which page the streams come from.
Switch from parseContentStream to parsePageContents
2018-01-31 02:39:38 +00:00
* Update content stream parsing example
(examples/pdf-parse-content.cc) to use new
QPDFObjectHandle::parsePageContents() method in favor of the older
QPDFObjectHandle::parseContentStream() method.
Bug fix: content normalizer should not add trailing newline Adding a trailing newline in content normalization damages files whose contents are split across streams in the middle of tokens. Let QPDFWriter add the newline with the indicator to ignore the newline, which it already does. This changes the way some qdf files look.
2018-01-31 16:59:02 +00:00
* Bug fix: change where the trailing newline is added to a stream
in QDF mode when content normalization is enabled (the default for
QDF mode). Before, the content normalizer ensured that the output
ended with a trailing newline, but this had the undesired side
effect of including the newline in the stream data for purposes of
length computation. QPDFWriter already appends a newline without
counting in length for better readability. Ordinarily this makes
no difference, but in the rare case of a page's contents being
split in the middle of a token, the old behavior could cause the
Spell check
2018-08-16 14:49:24 +00:00
extra newline to be interpreted as part of the token. This bug
Bug fix: content normalizer should not add trailing newline Adding a trailing newline in content normalization damages files whose contents are split across streams in the middle of tokens. Let QPDFWriter add the newline with the indicator to ignore the newline, which it already does. This changes the way some qdf files look.
2018-01-31 16:59:02 +00:00
could only be triggered in qdf mode, which is a mode intended for
manual inspection of PDF files' contents, so it is very unlikely
to have caused any actual problems for people using qpdf for
production use. Even if it did, it would be very unusual for a PDF
file to actually be adversely affected by this issue.
Add coalesce contents capability
2018-01-31 14:47:58 +00:00
* Add support for coalescing a page's contents into a single
stream if they are represented as an array of streams. This can be
performed from the command line using the --coalesce-contents
option. Coalescing content streams can simplify things for
software that wants to operate on a page's content streams without
having to handle weird edge cases like content streams split in
the middle of tokens. Note that
QPDFObjectHandle::parsePageContents and
QPDFObjectHandle::parseContentStream already handled split content
streams. This is mainly to set the stage for new methods of
operating on page contents. The new method
QPDFObjectHandle::pipeContentStreams will pipe all of a page's
content streams though a single pipeline. The new method
QPDFObjectHandle.coalesceContentStreams, when called on a page
object, will do nothing if the page's contents are a single
stream, but if they are an array of streams, it will replace the
page's contents with a single stream whose contents are the
concatenation of the original streams.
* A few library routines throw exceptions if called on non-page
objects. These constraints have been relaxed somewhat to make qpdf
more tolerant of files whose page dictionaries are not properly
marked as such. Mostly exceptions about page operations being
called on non page objects will only be thrown in cases where the
operation had no chance of succeeding anyway. This change has no
impact on any default mode operations, but it could allow
applications that use page-level APIs in QPDFObjectHandle to be
more tolerant of certain types of damaged files.
Implement TokenFilter and refactor Pl_QPDFTokenizer Implement a TokenFilter class and refactor Pl_QPDFTokenizer to use a TokenFilter class called ContentNormalizer. Pl_QPDFTokenizer is now a general filter that passes data through a TokenFilter.
2018-02-02 23:21:34 +00:00
* Add QPDFObjectHandle::TokenFilter class and methods to use it to
perform lexical filtering on content streams. You can call
QPDFObjectHandle::addTokenFilter on stream object, or you can call
the higher level QPDFObjectHandle::addContentTokenFilter on a page
object to cause the stream's contents to passed through a token
filter while being retrieved by QPDFWriter or any other consumer.
For details on using TokenFilter, please see comments in
QPDFObjectHandle.hh.
* Enhance the string, type QPDFTokenizer::Token constructor to
initialize a raw value in addition to a value. Tokens have a
value, which is a canonical representation, and a raw value. For
all tokens except strings and names, the raw value and the value
are the same. For strings, the value excludes the outer delimiters
and has non-printing characters normalized. For names, the value
resolves non-printing characters. In order to better facilitate
token filters that mostly preserve contents and to enable
developers to be mostly unconcerned about the nuances of token
values and raw values, creating string and name tokens now
properly handles this subtlety of values and raw values. When
constructing string tokens, take care to avoid passing in the
outer delimiters. This has always been the case, but it is now
clarified in comments in QPDFObjectHandle.hh::TokenFilter. This
has no impact on any existing code unless there's some code
somewhere that was relying on Token::getRawValue() returning an
empty string for a manually constructed token. The token class's
operator== method still only looks at type and value, not raw
value. For example, string tokens for <41> and (A) would still be
equal because both are representations of the string "A".
* Add QPDFObjectHandle::isDataModified method. This method just
returns true if addTokenFilter has been called on the stream. It
enables a caller to determine whether it is safe to optimize away
piping of stream data in cases where the input and output are
expected to be the same. QPDFWriter uses this internally to skip
the optimization of not re-compressing already compressed streams
if addTokenFilter has been called. Most developers will not have
to worry about this as it is used internally in the library in the
places that need it. If you are manually retrieving stream data
with QPDFObjectHandle::getStreamData or
QPDFObjectHandle::pipeStreamData, you don't need to worry about
this at all.
Spell check
2018-08-16 14:49:24 +00:00
* Provide heavily annotated examples/pdf-filter-tokens.cc example
Filter tokens example
2018-02-03 19:52:40 +00:00
that illustrates use of some simple token filters.
Detect and report bad tokens in content normalization
2018-02-03 02:16:40 +00:00
* When normalizing content streams, as in qdf mode, issue warning
about bad tokens. Content streams are only normalized when this is
explicitly requested, so this has no impact on normal operation.
However, in qdf mode, if qpdf detects a bad token, it means that
either there's a bug in qpdf's lexer, that the file is damaged, or
that the page's contents are split in a weird way. In any of those
cases, qpdf could potentially damage the stream's contents by
Spell check
2018-08-16 14:49:24 +00:00
replacing carriage returns with newlines or otherwise messing with
Detect and report bad tokens in content normalization
2018-02-03 02:16:40 +00:00
spaces. The mostly likely case of this would be an inline image's
compressed data being divided across two streams and having the
compressed data in the second stream contain a carriage return as
part of its binary data. If you are using qdf mode just to look at
PDF files in text editors, this usually doesn't matter. In cases
of contents split across multiple streams, coalescing streams
would eliminate the problem, so the warning mentions this. Prior
to this enhancement, the chances of qdf mode writing incorrect
data were already very low. This change should make it nearly
impossible for qdf mode to unknowingly write invalid data.
Add option to save pass 1 of lineariziation This is useful only for debugging the linearization code.
2018-01-31 21:45:52 +00:00
2018-02-04 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add QPDFWriter::setLinearizationPass1Filename method and
--linearize-pass1 command line option to allow specification of a
file into which QPDFWriter will write its intermediate
linearization pass 1 file. This is useful only for debugging qpdf.
qpdf creates linearized files by computing the output in two
passes. Ordinarily the first pass is discarded and not written
anywhere. This option allows it to be inspected.

* Implement remaining PNG filters for decode. Prior versions could

Tobias Hoffmann for providing a test PDF file that has images with
all PNG filters along with different numbers of bits per sample
and samples per pixel, and thanks to Casey Rojas for providing
implementations of the remaining PNG filters.
The implementation of the remaining PNG filters changed the
interface to the private Pl_PNGFilter class, but this class's
header file is not in the installation, and there is no public
interface to the class. Within the library, the class is never
allocated on the stack; it is only ever dynamically allocated. As
such, this does not actually break binary compatibility of the
library.

is just for ensuring that objects are written in the correct order
and for including some additional material in the output that is
required by the PCLm standard.
Enable finer grained control of stream decoding This commit adds several API methods that enable control over which types of filters QPDF will attempt to decode. It also adds support for /RunLengthDecode and /DCTDecode filters for both encoding and decoding.

* Remove --precheck-streams. This is enabled by default now
without any efficiency cost. This feature was never released.
* Update pdf-create example to illustrate use of additional image
compression filters.
* Add support for /RunLengthDecode and /DCTDecode:
- New pipeline types Pl_RunLength and Pl_DCT
- New command-line flags --compress-streams and --decode-level
to replace/enhance --stream-data
- New QPDFWriter::setCompressStreams and
QPDFWriter::setDecodeLevel methods
Please see documentation, header files, and help messages for
details on these new features.
Change --single-pages to --split-pages This is in preparation for implementing page groups.
2017-08-12 15:49:04 +00:00
2017-08-12 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add page rotation (fixes #132)
2017-08-12 17:22:46 +00:00
* Add QPDFObjectHandle::rotatePage to apply rotation to a page
object. Add --rotate option to qpdf to specify page rotation from
the command line.
Add --verbose flag
2017-08-12 16:30:18 +00:00
* Provide --verbose option that causes qpdf to print an indication
of what files it is writing.
Change --single-pages to --split-pages This is in preparation for implementing page groups.
2017-08-12 15:49:04 +00:00
* Change --single-pages to --split-pages and make it take an
optional argument specifying the number of pages per file.
Pad encryption parameters that are too short (fixes #96)
2017-08-11 23:53:56 +00:00
2017-08-11 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Fix --newline-before-endstream option (fixes #133) Add a newline unconditionally before endstream even if a newline was already written as part of the stream data.
2017-08-12 00:57:05 +00:00
* Fix --newline-before-endstream to always add a newline before
endstream even if the last character was already a newline. This
is actually what's required by PDF/A. Fixes #133.
Pad encryption parameters that are too short (fixes #96)
2017-08-11 23:53:56 +00:00
* Handle encrypted files whose encryption parameters are too
short. Fixes #96.
Remove unused PointerHolder interface Also fix a bug resulting from incorrect use of PointerHolder because of this unused parameter.

2017-08-10 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Remove PCRE
2017-08-11 00:24:16 +00:00
* Remove dependency on libpcre.
Read xref table without PCRE Also accept more errors than before.
2017-08-10 23:37:05 +00:00
* Be more forgiving of certain types of errors in the xref table
that don't interfere with interpreting the table.
Remove unused PointerHolder interface Also fix a bug resulting from incorrect use of PointerHolder because of this unused parameter.
2017-08-10 22:17:24 +00:00
* Remove unused "tracing" parameter from PointerHolder's
(T*, bool) constructor. This change breaks source code
compatibility, but since this argument to PointerHolder has not
used for a long time and the presence of a boolean parameter in
the primary constructor makes it too easy to use that by mistake
when trying to use PointerHolder for arrays, it seems like it's
finally time to take it out. If you have a compile error because
of this change, please check to see whether you intended to use
the (bool, T*) version of the constructor instead. If not, just
remove the second parameter.
Improve stream length recovery Eliminate PCRE and find endobj not preceded by endstream. Be more lax about placement of endstream and endobj.
2017-08-10 01:14:48 +00:00
2017-08-09 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* When recovering stream length, find endobj without endstream as
well as just looking for endstream. Be a little more lax about
where we allow it to be found.
Move page spec processing earlier
2017-08-05 12:29:26 +00:00
2017-08-05 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add --split-pages option (fixes #30)
2017-08-05 14:01:34 +00:00
* Add --single-pages option to cause output to be written to a
separate file for each page rather than one big file.
Move page spec processing earlier
2017-08-05 12:29:26 +00:00
* Process --pages options earlier so that certain inspection
options, like --show-pages, can show the state after the merging
operations.
Fix off-by-one error in --pages argument parsing (fixes #129)
2017-08-03 01:06:41 +00:00
2017-08-02 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Fix off-by-one error in parsing pages options. Fixes #129.
Better handle split content streams (fixes #73) When parsing content streams, allow content to be split arbitrarily across stream boundaries.
2017-07-29 14:40:31 +00:00
2017-07-29 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Allow reading command-line args from files (fixes #16)
2017-07-30 02:23:21 +00:00
* Support @filename and @- in the qpdf command-line tool to read
command-line arguments, one per line, from the named file. @-
reads from standard input. Fixes #16.
Detect input file = output file (fixes #29)
2017-07-30 00:19:54 +00:00
* Detect when input file and output file are the same and exit to
avoid overwriting and losing input file. Fixes #29.
Allow --check to coexist with and precede other operations (fixes #42)
2017-07-29 23:56:21 +00:00
* When passing multiple inspection arguments, run --check first,
and defer exit until after all the checks have been run. This
makes it possible to force operations such as --show-xref to be
delayed until after recovery attempts have been made. For example,
if you have a file with a syntactically valid xref table that has
some offsets that are incorrect, running qpdf --check --show-xref
on that file will first recover the xref and the dump the
recovered xref, while just running qpdf --show-xref will show the
xref table as present in the file. Fixes #42.
When recover stream length, indicate the length (fixes #44)
2017-07-29 23:15:06 +00:00
* When recovering stream length, indicate the recovered length.
Fixes #44.
Add newline-before-endstream option (fixes #103)
2017-07-29 16:18:03 +00:00
* Add --newline-before-endstream command-line option and
setNewlineBeforeEndstream method to QPDFWriter. This forces qpdf
to always add a newline before the endstream keyword. It is a
necessary but not sufficient condition for PDF/A compliance. Fixes
#103.
Handle zlib data errors better (fixes #106)
2017-07-29 16:07:19 +00:00
* Handle zlib data errors when decoding streams. Fixes #106.
Better recovery of bad stream start (fixes #104)
2017-07-29 15:59:15 +00:00
* Improve handling of files where the "stream" keyword is not
followed by proper line terminators. Fixes #104.
Better handle split content streams (fixes #73) When parsing content streams, allow content to be split arbitrarily across stream boundaries.
2017-07-29 14:40:31 +00:00
* Fix content stream parsing to handle cases of structures within
the stream split across stream boundaries. Fixes #73.
Add option to preserve unreferenced objects
2017-07-28 23:18:57 +00:00
2017-07-28 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add --preserve-unreferenced command-line option and
setPreserveUnreferencedObjects method to QPDFWriter. This option
causes QPDFWriter to write all objects from the input file to the
output file regardless of whether the objects are referenced.
Objects are written to the output file in numerical order from the
input file. This option has no effect for linearized files.
Convert object parsing errors to warnings QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal now issues warnings instead of throwing exceptions for all error conditions that it finds (except internal logic errors) and has stronger recovery for things like invalid tokens and malformed dictionaries. This should improve qpdf's ability to recover from a wide range of broken files that currently cause it to fail.
2017-07-26 18:38:49 +00:00
2017-07-27 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add precheck streams capability When requested, QPDFWriter will do more aggress prechecking of streams to make sure it can actually succeed in decoding them before attempting to do so. This will allow preservation of raw data even when the raw data is corrupted relative to the specified filters.

stream fully before deciding whether to filter it or not.
Convert stream filtering errors to warnings
2017-07-27 22:18:18 +00:00
* Recover gracefully from streams that aren't filterable because
the filter parameters are invalid in the stream dictionary or the
dictionary itself is invalid.
Convert object parsing errors to warnings QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal now issues warnings instead of throwing exceptions for all error conditions that it finds (except internal logic errors) and has stronger recovery for things like invalid tokens and malformed dictionaries. This should improve qpdf's ability to recover from a wide range of broken files that currently cause it to fail.
2017-07-26 18:38:49 +00:00
* Significantly improve recoverability from invalid qpdf objects.
Most conditions in basic object parsing that used to cause qpdf to
exit are now warnings. There are still many more opportunities for
improvements of this sort beyond just object parsing.
Fix infinite loop while reporting an error (fixes #101) This is CVE-2017-9210. The description string for an error message included unparsing an object, which is too complex of a thing to try to do while throwing an exception. There was only one example of this in the entire codebase, so it is not a pervasive problem. Fixing this eliminated one class of infinite loop errors.
2017-07-25 14:13:30 +00:00
2017-07-26 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Include tests for other infinite loop bugs fixes #117 fixes #118 fixes #119 fixes #120 Several other infinite loop bugs were fixed by previous changes. Include their test files in the test suite.
2017-07-26 10:19:19 +00:00
* Fixes to infinite loops below also fix problems reported in
other issues and cover CVE-2017-11624, CVE-2017-11625,
CVE-2017-11626, and CVE-2017-11627.
Don't interpret word tokens in content streams (fixes #82)
2017-07-26 09:35:34 +00:00
* Don't attempt to interpret syntactic keywords (like R and
endobj) found while parsing content streams.
Detect recursion loops resolving objects (fixes #51) During parsing of an object, sometimes parts of the object have to be resolved. An example is stream lengths. If such an object directly or indirectly points to the object being parsed, it can cause an infinite loop. Guard against all cases of re-entrant resolution of objects.
2017-07-26 09:03:38 +00:00
* Detect infinite loops while resolving objects. This could happen
if something inside an object that had to be resolved during
parsing, such as a stream length, recursively referenced the
object being resolved.
Handle object ID 0 (fixes #99) This is CVE-2017-9208. The QPDF library uses object ID 0 internally as a sentinel to represent a direct object, but prior to this fix, was not blocking handling of 0 0 obj or 0 0 R as a special case. Creating an object in the file with 0 0 obj could cause various infinite loops. The PDF spec doesn't allow for object 0. Having qpdf handle object 0 might be a better fix, but changing all the places in the code that assumes objid == 0 means direct would be risky.
2017-07-26 08:30:32 +00:00
* CVE-2017-9208: Handle references to and appearance of object 0
as a special case. Object 0 is not allowed, and qpdf was using it
internally to represent direct objects.
Avoid xref reconstruction infinite loop (fixes #100) This is CVE-2017-9209.
2017-07-25 14:21:27 +00:00
* CVE-2017-9209: Fix infinite loop caused by attempting to
reconstruct the xref table while already in the process of

Implement deterministic ID For non-encrypted files, determinstic ID generation uses file contents instead of timestamp and file name. At a small runtime cost, this enables generation of the same /ID if the same inputs are converted in the same way multiple times.
2015-10-25 15:09:25 +00:00
2015-10-29 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Implement QPDFWriter::setDeterministicID and --deterministic-id
commandline-flag to qpdf to request generation of a deterministic
/ID for non-encrypted files.

Avoid resolving arguments to R When checking two objects preceding R while parsing, ensure that the objects are direct. This avoids stuff like 1 0 obj containing 1 0 R 0 R from causing an infinite loop in object resolution.

Detect loops in /Pages structure Pushing inherited objects to pages and getting all pages were both prone to stack overflow infinite loops if there were loops in the Pages dictionary. There is a general weakness in the code in that any part of the code that traverses the Pages structure would be prone to this and would have to implement its own loop detection. A more robust fix may provide some general method for handling the Pages structure, but it's probably not worth doing. Note: addition of *Internal2 private functions was done rather than changing signatures of existing methods to avoid breaking compatibility.
2015-02-21 23:22:32 +00:00
* Detect loops in Pages structure. Thanks to Gynvael Coldwind and
Mateusz Jurczyk of the Google Security Team for providing a sample
file with this problem.
Avoid buffer overrun copying digest Converting a password to an encryption key is supposed to copy up to a certain number of bytes from a digest. Make sure never to copy more than the size of the digest.
2015-02-21 22:30:45 +00:00
* Prevent buffer overrun when converting a password to an
encryption key. Thanks to Gynvael Coldwind and Mateusz Jurczyk of
the Google Security Team for providing a sample file with this
problem.
Avoid resolving arguments to R When checking two objects preceding R while parsing, ensure that the objects are direct. This avoids stuff like 1 0 obj containing 1 0 R 0 R from causing an infinite loop in object resolution.
2015-02-21 22:40:41 +00:00
* Ensure that arguments to "R" when parsing the file are direct
objects before trying to resolve them. This prevents specially
crafted files from causing qpdf to crash with a stack overflow.
Thanks to Gynvael Coldwind and Mateusz Jurczyk of the Google
Security Team for providing a sample file with this problem.
Handle page tree node with no /Type Original reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qpdf/+bug/1397413 The PDF specification says that the /Type key for nodes in the pages dictionary (both /Page and /Pages) is required, but some PDF files omit them. Use the presence of other keys to determine the type of pages tree node this is if the type key is not found.
2014-12-01 19:44:47 +00:00
2014-12-01 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Some broken PDF files lack the required /Type key for /Page and
/Pages nodes in the page dictionary. QPDF now uses other methods
to figure out what kind of node it is looking at so that it can
handle those files. Original reported at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qpdf/+bug/1397413
Handle pages with no /Contents from getPageContents() The spec allows /Contents to be omitted for pages that are blank, but QPDFObjectHandle::getPageContents() was throwing an exception in this case.
2014-11-14 18:43:34 +00:00
2014-11-14 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Bug fix: QPDFObjectHandle::getPageContents() no longer throws an
exception when called on a page that has no /Contents key in its
dictionary. This is allowed by the spec, and some software
packages generate files like this for pages that are blank in the
original.
Handle indirect stream filter/decode parameters QPDFWriter was trying to make /Filter and /DecodeParms direct in all cases, but there are some cases where /DecodeParms may refer to a stream, which can't be direct. QPDFWriter doesn't actually need /DecodeParms to be direct in that case because it won't be able to filter the stream. Until we can handle this type of stream, just don't make /Filter and /DecodeParms direct if we can't filter the stream anyway. Fixes #34

2014-06-07 16:31:22 +00:00
* Bug fix: don't fail on files that contain streams where /Filter
or /DecodeParms references a stream. Before, qpdf would try to
convert these to direct objects, which would fail because of the
stream.
Fix calculation of xref stream stream columns Fix problem: if the last object in the first part of a linearized file had an offset that was below 65536 by less than the size of the hint stream, the xref stream was invalid and the resulting file is not usable.

Allow -DNO_GET_ENVIRONMENT to avoid GetEnvironmentVariable If NO_GET_ENVIRONMENT is #defined at compile time on Windows, do not call GetEnvironmentVariable. QUtil::get_env will always return false. This option is not available through configure. This was added to support a specific user's requirements to avoid calling GetEnvironmentVariable from the Windows API.

Use 8 bit per sample images in tests In compare image tests, use the gs device tiff24nc instead of tiff12nc since the 4 bit per sample images created by tiff12nc could sometimes trigger a bug in tiffcmp. Fixes #20.
2013-11-21 18:41:37 +00:00
2013-11-21 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Change image comparison tests, which are disabled by default, to
use tiff files with 8 bits per sample rather than 4. This works
around a bug in tiffcmp but also increases time and disk space for
image comparison tests.

Warn when -accessibility=n will be ignored Also accept -accessibility=n with 256 bit keys even though it will be ignored.
2013-10-18 13:18:45 +00:00
* Warn when -accessibility=n is specified with a modern encryption
format (R > 3). Also, accept this flag (and ignore with warning)
with 256-bit encryption. qpdf has always ignored the
accessibility setting with R > 3, but it previously did so
silently.
Security: keep cur_byte pointing into bytes array
2013-10-05 09:48:56 +00:00
2013-10-05 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Security: replace operator[] with at For std::string and std::vector, replace operator[] with at. This was done using an automated process. See README.hardening for details.
2013-10-05 23:42:39 +00:00
* Replace operator[] in std::string and std::vector with "at" in
order to get bounds checking. This reduces the chances that
incorrect code will result in data exposure or buffer overruns.
See README.hardening for additional notes.
Security: use a secure random number generator If not available, give an error. The user may also configure qpdf to use an insecure random number generator.
2013-10-05 21:36:33 +00:00
* Use cryptographically secure random number generation when
available. See additional notes in README.
Replace some assertions with std::logic_error Ideally, the library should never call assert outside of test code, but it does in several places. For some cases where the assertion might conceivably fail because of a problem with the input data, replace assertions with exceptions so that they can be trapped by the calling application. This commit surely misses some cases and replaced some cases unnecessarily, but it should still be an improvement.
2013-10-05 20:37:27 +00:00
* Replace some assert() calls with std::logic_error exceptions.
Ideally there shouldn't be assert() calls outside of testing.
This change may make a few more potential code errors in handling
invalid data recoverable.
Security: avoid pre-allocating vectors based on file data In places where std::vector<T>(size_t) was used, either validate that the size parameter is sane or refactor code to avoid the need to pre-allocate the vector.
2013-10-05 15:30:27 +00:00
* Security fix: In places where std::vector<T>(size_t) was used,
either validate that the size parameter is sane or refactor code
to avoid the need to pre-allocate the vector. This reduces the
likelihood of allocating a lot of memory in response to invalid
data in linearization hint streams.
Security: sanitize /W in xref stream The /W array was not sanitized, possibly causing an integer overflow in a multiplication. An analysis of the code suggests that there were no possible exploits based on this since the problems were in checking expected values but bounds checks were performed on actual values.
2013-10-05 16:28:52 +00:00
* Security fix: sanitize /W array in cross reference stream to
avoid a potential integer overflow in a multiplication. It is
unlikely that any exploits were possible from this bug as
additional checks were also performed.
Security: better bounds checks for linearization data The faulty code was only used during explicit checks of linearization data. Those checks are not part of normal reading or writing of PDF files.
2013-10-05 10:26:06 +00:00
* Security fix: avoid buffer overrun that could be caused by bogus
data in linearization hint streams. The incorrect code could only
be triggered when checking linearization data, which must be
invoked explicitly. qpdf does not check linearization data when
reading or writing linearized files, but the qpdf --check command
does check linearization data.
Security: handle empty name in normalizeName
2013-10-05 09:52:42 +00:00
* Security fix: properly handle empty strings in
QPDF_Name::normalizeName. The empty string is not a valid name
and would never be parsed as a name, so there were no known
conditions where this method could be called with an empty string.
Security: fix potential multiplication overflow Better sanity check inputs to bit stream reader
2013-10-05 09:51:54 +00:00
* Security fix: perform additional argument sanity checks when
reading bit streams.
Security: keep cur_byte pointing into bytes array
2013-10-05 09:48:56 +00:00
* Security fix: in QUtil::toUTF8, change bounds checking to avoid
having a pointer point temporarily outside the bounds of an
array. Some compiler optimizations could have made the original
code unsafe.
Change API/ABI and withdraw 4.2.0 4.2.0 was binary incompatible in spite of there being no deletions or changes to any public methods. As such, we have to bump the ABI and are fixing some API breakage while we're at it. Previous 4.3.0 target is now 5.1.0.

2013-07-10 15:07:40 +00:00
* 4.2.0 turned out to be binary incompatible on some platforms
even though there were no changes to the public API. Therefore
the 4.2.0 release has been withdrawn, and is being replaced with a
5.0.0 release that acknowledges the ABI change and also removes
some problematic methods from the public API.
* Remove methods from public API that were only intended to be
used by QPDFWriter and really didn't make sense to call from
anywhere else as they required internal knowledge that only
QPDFWriter had:
- QPDF::getLinearizedParts
- QPDF::generateHintStream
- QPDF::getObjectStreamData
- QPDF::getCompressibleObjGens
- QPDF::getCompressibleObjects

Ignore broken DecodeParms for stream with no filters
2013-07-07 21:26:03 +00:00
* Ignore error case of a stream's decode parameters having invalid
length when there are no stream filters.
Add --show-npages option to qpdf
2013-07-07 21:04:41 +00:00
* qpdf: add --show-npages command-line option, which causes the
number of pages in the input file to be printed on a line by
itself.
Allow numeric range to be omitted qpdf --pages Detect a missing page range and assume 1-z.
2013-07-07 20:29:28 +00:00
* qpdf: allow omission of range in --pages. If range is omitted
such that an argument that is supposed to be a range is an invalid
range and a valid file name, the range of 1-z is assumed. This
makes it possible to merge a bunch of files with something like
qpdf --empty out.pdf --pages *.pdf --
Handle more broken files Space rather than newline after xref, missing /ID in trailer for encrypted file. This enables qpdf to handle some files that xpdf can handle. Adobe reader can't necessarily handle them.
2013-06-15 16:38:25 +00:00
2013-06-15 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Handle some additional broken files with missing /ID in trailer
for encrypted files and with space rather than newline after xref.
Promote QPDF::ObjGen to top-level object QPDFObjGen
2013-06-14 15:22:04 +00:00
2013-06-14 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Handle /Outlines dictionary being a direct object Even though this case is not valid according to the spec, it has been seen, and caused an internal error.
2013-06-15 01:35:10 +00:00
* Detect and correct /Outlines dictionary being a direct object
when linearizing files. This is not allowed by the spec but has
been seen in the wild. Prior to this change, such a file would
cause an internal error in the linearization code, which assumed
/Outlines was indirect.
Add optional /Length key in crypt filter dictionary
2013-06-15 00:40:20 +00:00
* Add /Length key to crypt filter dictionary for encrypted files.
This key is optional, but some version of MacOS reportedly fail to
open encrypted PDF files without this key.
Bug fix: handle generation > 0 when generating object streams Rework QPDFWriter to always track old object IDs and QPDFObjGen instead of int, thus not discarding the generation number. Switch to QPDF::getCompressibleObjGen() to properly handle the case of an old object eligible for compression that has a generation of other than zero.
2013-06-14 18:53:47 +00:00
* Bug fix: properly handle object stream generation when the
original file has some compressible objects with generation != 0.
* Add QPDF::getCompressibleObjGens() and deprecate
QPDF::getCompressibleObjects(), which had a flaw in its logic.
Spell check
2018-08-16 14:49:24 +00:00

getGeneration() for most cases.
Promote QPDF::ObjGen to top-level object QPDFObjGen
2013-06-14 15:22:04 +00:00

Windows install: check DLL type When copying dlls, make sure to only consider DLLs whose type matches the type of what is loading them.
2013-03-11 16:34:31 +00:00
2013-03-11 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* When creating Windows binary distributions, make sure to only
copy DLLs of the correct type. The ensures that the 32-bit
distributions contain 32-bit DLLs and the 64-bit distributions
contain 64-bit DLLs.
Use ./install-sh instead of install -c
2013-03-07 16:28:06 +00:00
2013-03-07 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>

install executables to fix portability problems against different
UNIX variants.
Add method to terminate content stream parsing
2013-03-03 20:48:31 +00:00
2013-03-03 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add protected terminateParsing method to
QPDFObjectHandle::ParserCallbacks that implementor can call to
terminate parsing of a content stream.
Remove all calls to sprintf

2013-02-28 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Favor strerror_s and fopen_s on MSVC Make remaining calls to fopen and strerror use strerror_s and fopen_s on MSVC.
2013-02-28 22:10:30 +00:00
* Favor fopen_s and strerror_s on MSVC to avoid CRT security
warnings. This is useful for people who may want to use qpdf in
an application that is Windows 8 certified.
Call QUtil::safe_fopen in place of fopen fopen was previuosly called wrapped by QUtil::fopen_wrapper, but QUtil::safe_fopen does this itself, which is less cumbersome.
2013-02-28 21:45:11 +00:00
* New method QUtil::safe_fopen to wrap calls to fopen. This is
less cumbersome than calling QUtil::fopen_wrapper.
Remove all calls to sprintf

2013-02-26 17:31:00 +00:00
2013-02-26 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Rewrite QUtil::int_to_string and QUtil::double_to_string to
remove internal length limits but to remain backward compatible
with the old versions for valid inputs.
Bug fix: properly handle overridden compressed objects When caching objects in an object stream, only cache objects that still resolve to that stream. See Changelog mod from this commit for details.
2013-02-23 22:41:27 +00:00
2013-02-23 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Bug fix: properly handle overridden compressed objects. When
caching objects from an object stream, only cache objects that,
based on the xref table, would actually be resolved into this
stream. Prior to this fix, if an object stream A contained an
object B that was overridden by an appended section of the file,
qpdf would cache the old value of B if any non-overridden member
of A was accessed before B. This commit fixes that bug.
Do not remove libqpdf.la Some distributions (like debian) don't want .la files to be installed, but the responsibility for doing this should like in the packaging, not in qpdf itself.
2013-01-31 21:16:45 +00:00
2013-01-31 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Do not remove libtool's .la file during the make install step.
Note to packagers: if your distribution wants to you remove the
.la file, you will have to do that yourself now.
Improve qpdf --check Fix exit status for case of errors without warnings, continue after errors when possible, add test case for parsing a file with content stream errors on some but not all pages.

2013-01-25 13:59:55 +00:00
* New method QUtil::hex_encode to encode binary data as a
hexadecimal string
Improve qpdf --check Fix exit status for case of errors without warnings, continue after errors when possible, add test case for parsing a file with content stream errors on some but not all pages.
2013-01-25 16:08:50 +00:00
* qpdf --check was exiting with status 0 in some rare cases even
when errors were found. It now always exits with one of the
document error codes (0 for success, 2 for errors, 3 or warnings).
Have qpdf --check parse content streams Also move writing to null and parsing of content streams out of the wrong if block.
2013-01-24 15:47:29 +00:00
2013-01-24 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Handle warning flags better Make --enable-werror work properly on msvc, handle extra warnings flags for msvc in configure.ac instead of hardcoding into make/msvc.mk, separate warnings flags into WFLAGS in autoconf.mk to avoid duplication and to make it easier to override.
2013-01-24 16:18:28 +00:00
* Make --enable-werror work for MSVC, and generally handle warning
options better for that compiler. Warning flags for that compiler
were previous hard-coded into the build with /WX enabled
unconditionally.
* Split warning flags into WFLAGS in autoconf.mk to make them
easier to override. Before they were repeated in CFLAGS and
CXXFLAGS and were commingled with other compiler flags.
Have qpdf --check parse content streams Also move writing to null and parsing of content streams out of the wrong if block.
2013-01-24 15:47:29 +00:00
* qpdf --check now does syntactic checks all pages' content
streams as well as checking overall document structure. Semantic
errors are still not checked, and there are no plans to add
semantic checks.
Add getTypeCode() and getTypeName() Add virtual methods to QPDFObject, wrappers to QPDFObjectHandle, and implementations to all the QPDF_Object types.
2013-01-22 14:57:07 +00:00
2013-01-22 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add QPDFObjectHandle::getTypeCode(). This method returns a
unique integer (enumerated type) value corresponding to the object
type of the QPDFObjectHandle. It can be used as an alternative to
the QPDFObjectHandle::is* methods for type testing, particularly
where there is a desire to use a switch statement or optimize for
performance when testing object types.
* Add QPDFObjectHandle::getTypeName(). This method returns a
string literal describing the object type. It is useful for
testing and debugging.
Added new QPDFObjectHandle types Keyword and InlineImage These object types are to facilitate content stream parsing.

class. The example pdf-parse-content illustrates it use.
Cosmetic changes to be closer to Adobe terminology Change object type Keyword to Operator, and place the order of the object types in object_type_e in the same order as they are mentioned in the PDF specification. Note that this change only breaks backward compatibility with code that has not yet been released.

Prepare 4.0.1 release
2013-01-17 14:51:04 +00:00
2013-01-17 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* 4.0.1: release
* Add clarifying comment in QPDF.hh for methods that return the
user password to state that it is no longer possible with newer
encryption formats to recover the user password knowing the owner
password.
* Fix detection of binary attachments in the test suite. This
resolves false test failures on some platforms. No changes to the
actual QPDF code were made.

qpdf_set_r6_encryption_parameters,
qpdf_set_minimum_pdf_version_and_extension, and
qpdf_force_pdf_version_and_extension to support new functionality
from the C API.
Update ChangeLog with recent changes
2012-12-31 01:59:38 +00:00
2012-12-30 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Fix long-standing bug that could theoretically have resulted in
possible misinterpretation of decode parameters in streams. As
far as I can tell, it is extremely unlikely that files with the
characteristics that would have triggered the bug actually exist
in cases that qpdf versions prior to 4.0.0 could have read.
Unencrypted files with encrypted attachments would have triggered
this bug, but qpdf versions prior to 4.0.0 already refused to open
such files.
* Fix long-standing bug in which a stream that used a crypt
filter and was otherwise not filterable by qpdf would be decrypted
properly but would retain the crypt filter indication in the
file. There are no known ways to create files like this, so it is
unlikely that anyone ever hit this bug.
2012-12-29 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add read/write support for both the deprecated Acrobat IX
encryption format and the Acrobat X/PDF 2.0 encryption format
using 256-bit AES keys. Using the Acrobat IX format (R=5) forces
the version of the file to 1.7 with extension level 3. Using the
PDF 2.0 format (R=6) forces it to 1.7 extension level 8.
* Add new method QPDF::getEncryptionKey to return the actual
encryption key used for encryption of data in the file. The key
is returned as a std::string.
* Non-compatible API change: change signature of
QPDF::compute_data_key to take the R and V values from the
encryption dictionary. There is no reason for any application
code to call this method since handling of encryption is done

automatically by the qpdf library. It is used internally by
Update ChangeLog with recent changes
2012-12-31 01:59:38 +00:00
QPDFWriter.
* Support reading and decryption of files whose main text is not
encrypted but whose attachments are. More generally, support the
case of files and streams encrypted differently with some
limitations, described in the documentation. This was not
previously supported due to lack of test files, but I created test
files using a trial version of Acrobat XI to fully implement this
case.
* Incorporate sha2 code from sphlib 3.0. See README for
licensing. Create private pipeline class for computing hashes
with sha256, sha384, and sha512.
* Allow specification of initialization vector when using AES
filtering. This is required to compute the hash used in /R=6 (PDF
2.0) encryption.
2012-12-28 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add random number generation functions to QUtil.
* Fix old bug that could cause an infinite loop if user password
recovery methods were called and a password contained the "("
character (which happens to be the first byte of padding used by
older PDF encryption formats). This bug was noticed while reading
code and would not happen under ordinary usage patterns even if
the password contained that character.
Eliminate flattenScalarReferences
2012-12-27 16:39:01 +00:00
2012-12-27 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Update ChangeLog with recent changes
2012-12-31 01:59:38 +00:00
* Add awareness of extension level to PDF Version methods for both
reading and writing. This includes adding method
QPDF::getExtensionLevel and new versions of
QPDFWriter::setMinimumPDFVersion and QPDFWriter::forcePDFVersion
that support extension levels. The qpdf command-line tool
interprets version numbers of the form x.y.z as version x.y at
extension level z.
* Update AES classes to support use of 256-bit keys.
* Non-compatible API change: Removed public method
QPDF::flattenScalarReferences. Instead, just flatten the scalar
references we actually need to flatten. Flattening scalar
references was a wrong decision years ago and has occasionally
caused other problems, among which were that it caused qpdf to
visit otherwise unreferenced and possibly erroneous objects in the
file when it didn't have to. There's no reason that any
non-internal code would have had to call this.
* Non-compatible API change: Removed public method
QPDF::decodeStreams which was previously used by qpdf --check but
is no longer used. The decodeStreams method could generate false
positives since it would attempt to access all objects in the file
including those that were not referenced. There's no reason that
any non-internal code would have had to call this.
* Non-compatible API change: Removed public method
QPDF::trimTrailerForWrite, which was only intended for use by
QPDFWriter and which is no longer used.
2012-12-26 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add new fields to QPDF::EncryptionData to support newer
encryption formats (V=5, R=5 and R=6)
* Non-compatible API change: Change public nested class
QPDF::EncryptionData to make all member fields private and to add
method calls. This is a non-compatible API change, but changing
EncryptionData is necessary to support newer encryption formats,
and making this change will prevent the need from making a
non-compatible change in the future if new fields are added. A
public nested class should never have had public members to begin
with.

Add Requires.private to libqpdf.pc for static linking
2012-11-20 18:36:02 +00:00
* Add zlib and libpcre to Requires.private in the pkg-config file
to support static linking. Thanks Tobias Hoffmann for pointing
out the omission.
Ignore objects with offset 0
2012-11-20 18:15:14 +00:00
* Ignore (with warning) non-freed objects in the xref table whose
offset is 0. Some PDF producers (incorrectly) do this. See
https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1081.
Allow reading from InputSource and writing to Pipeline Allowing users to subclass InputSource and Pipeline to read and write from/to arbitrary sources provides the maximum flexibility for users who want to read and write from other than files or memory.
2012-09-23 21:42:26 +00:00
2012-09-23 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add public methods QPDF::processInputSource and
QPDFWriter::setOutputPipeline to allow users to read from custom
input sources and to write to custom pipelines. This allows the
maximum flexibility in sources for reading and writing PDF files.
Fix segmentation fault with use of QPDFWriter::setOutputMemory

* 3.0.2: release
Add QPDFWriter::setExtraHeaderText
2012-09-06 19:30:13 +00:00
* Add new method QPDFWriter::setExtraHeaderText to add extra text,
such as application-specific comments, to near the beginning of a
PDF file. For linearized files, this appears after the
linearization parameter dictionary. For non-linearized files, it
appears right after the PDF header and non-ASCII comment.
Reset state in QPDF::calculateLinearizationData This makes it possible to use two different writers to write linearized files from the same QPDF object.
2012-09-06 19:28:16 +00:00
* Make it possible to write the same QPDF object with two
different QPDFWriter objects that have both called
setLinearization(true) by making private method
QPDF::calculateLinearizationData() properly initialize its state.
Fix segmentation fault with use of QPDFWriter::setOutputMemory
2012-09-06 18:39:06 +00:00
* Bug fix: Writing after calling QPDFWriter::setOutputMemory()
would cause a segmentation fault because of an internal field not
being initialized, rendering that method useless. This has been
corrected.
Bug fix: let EOF resolve literal token Previously only whitespace and comments did it. This fix is needed for object streams whose last object is a literal (name, integer, real, string) not terminated by space or newline.

Restore coverage case Previous commit lost coverage case for buffer-based replaceStreamData.
2012-07-26 02:32:14 +00:00
2012-07-25 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* From Tobias: add QPDFObjectHandle::replaceStreamData that takes
a std::string analogous to the QPDFObjectHandle::newStream that
takes a string that was added earlier.
Implement QPDFObjectHandle::parse Move object parsing code from QPDF to QPDFObjectHandle and parameterize the parts of it that are specific to a QPDF object. Provide a version that can't handle indirect objects and that can be called on an arbitrary string. A side effect of this change is that the offset used when reporting invalid stream length has changed, but since the new value seems like a better value than the old one, the test suite has been updated rather than making the code backward compatible. This only effects the offset reported for invalid streams that lack /Length or have an invalid /Length key. Updated some test code and exmaples to use QPDFObjectHandle::parse. Supporting changes include adding a BufferInputSource constructor that takes a string.

Image comparison tests are off by default
2012-07-22 00:35:00 +00:00
* Change configure to have image comparison tests disabled by
default. Update README and README.maintainer with information
about running them.
Command-line page merging and splitting Implement --pages ... -- option for qpdf. Update TODO with remaining things to document.
2012-07-22 00:24:02 +00:00
* Add --pages command-line option to qpdf to enable page-based
merging and splitting.
Implement QPDFObjectHandle::parse Move object parsing code from QPDF to QPDFObjectHandle and parameterize the parts of it that are specific to a QPDF object. Provide a version that can't handle indirect objects and that can be called on an arbitrary string. A side effect of this change is that the offset used when reporting invalid stream length has changed, but since the new value seems like a better value than the old one, the test suite has been updated rather than making the code backward compatible. This only effects the offset reported for invalid streams that lack /Length or have an invalid /Length key. Updated some test code and exmaples to use QPDFObjectHandle::parse. Supporting changes include adding a BufferInputSource constructor that takes a string.
2012-07-21 13:00:06 +00:00
* Add new method QPDFObjectHandle::replaceDict to replace a
stream's dictionary. Use with caution; see comments in
QPDFObjectHandle.hh.
* Add new method QPDFObjectHandle::parse for creation of
QPDFObjectHandle objects from string representations of the
objects. Thanks to Tobias Hoffmann for the idea.
Bug fix: preserve AES when copying encryption parameters
2012-07-15 23:07:59 +00:00
2012-07-15 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add command line option to copy encryption from other file Add --copy-encryption and --encryption-file-password options to qpdf. Also strengthen test suite for copying encryption. The strengthened test suite would have caught the failure to preserve AES and the failure to update the file version, which was invalidating the encrypted data.
2012-07-16 01:15:24 +00:00
* add new QPDF::isEncrypted method that returns some additional
information beyond other versions.
* libqpdf/QPDFWriter.cc: fix copyEncryptionParameters to fix the
minimum PDF version based on other file's encryption needs. This
is a fix to code added on 2012-07-14 and did not impact previously
released code.
Bug fix: preserve AES when copying encryption parameters
2012-07-15 23:07:59 +00:00

Have QPDFWriter detect foreign objects while writing Throw an exception that directs the user to QPDF::copyForeignObject.
2012-07-14 12:07:23 +00:00
2012-07-14 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add public QPDFWriter::copyEncryptionParameters Method to copy encryption parameters from another file. Adapted from existing code to copy encryption parameters from the original file.
2012-07-14 13:13:49 +00:00
* QPDFWriter: add public copyEncryptionParameters to allow copying
encryption parameters from another file.
Have QPDFWriter detect foreign objects while writing Throw an exception that directs the user to QPDF::copyForeignObject.
2012-07-14 12:07:23 +00:00
* QPDFWriter: detect if the user has inserted an indirect object
from another QPDF object and throw an exception directing the user
to copyForeignObject.
Support copying objects from another QPDF object This includes QPDF::copyForeignObject and supporting foreign objects as arguments to addPage*.
2012-07-11 19:29:41 +00:00
2012-07-11 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Added new APIs to copy objects from one QPDF to another. This
includes letting QPDF::addPage() (and QPDF::addPageAt()) accept a
page object from another QPDF and adding
QPDF::copyForeignObject(). See QPDF.hh for details.
* Add method QPDFObjectHandle::getOwningQPDF() to return the QPDF
object associated with an indirect QPDFObjectHandle.
* Add convenience methods to QPDFObjectHandle: assertIndirect(),
isPageObject(), isPagesObject()
* Cache when QPDF::pushInheritedAttributesToPage() has been called
to avoid traversing the pages trees multiple times. This state is
cleared by QPDF::updateAllPagesCache() and ignored by
QPDF::flattenPagesTree().
Add concept of reserved objects QPDFObjectHandle::{new,is,assert}Reserved, QPDF::replaceReserved provide a mechanism to add objects to a PDF file when there are circular references. This is a prerequisite to copying objects from one PDF to another.
2012-07-08 18:19:19 +00:00
2012-07-08 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add QPDFObjectHandle::newReserved to create a reserved object
and QPDF::replaceReserved to replace it with a real object.
QPDFObjectHandle::newReserved reserves an object ID in a QPDF
object and ensures that any references to it remain unresolved.
When QPDF::replaceReserved is later called, previous references to
the reserved object will properly resolve to the replaced object.
Don't require stream data provider to know length in advance Breaking API change: length parameter has disappeared from the StreamDataProvider version of QPDFObjectHandle::replaceStreamData since it is no longer necessary to compute it in advance. This breaking change is justified by the fact that removing the length parameter provides the caller an opportunity to simplify the calling code.
2012-07-07 21:33:45 +00:00
2012-07-07 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* NOTE: BREAKING API CHANGE. Remove previously required length
parameter from the version QPDFObjectHandle::replaceStreamData
that uses a stream data provider. Prior to qpdf 3.0.0, you had to
compute the stream length in advance so that qpdf could internally
verify that the stream data had the same length every time the
provider was invoked. Now this requirement is enforced a
different way, and the length parameter is no longer required.
Note that I take API-breaking changes very seriously and only did
it in this case since the lack of need to know length in advance
could significantly simplify people's code. If you were
previously going to a lot of trouble to compute the length of the
new stream data in advance, you now no longer have to do that.
You can just drop the length parameter and remove any code that
was previously computing the length. Thanks to Tobias Hoffmann
for pointing out how annoying the original interface was.
Add QPDFWriter method to output to FILE*
2012-07-06 01:22:27 +00:00
2012-07-05 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add QPDFWriter methods to write to an already open stdio FILE*.
Implementation and idea area based on contributions from Tobias
Hoffmann.
Added test code for Tobias's changes
2012-07-05 03:19:32 +00:00
2012-07-04 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Accept changes from Tobias Hoffmann: add public method
QPDF::pushInheritedAttributesToPage including warnings for
non-inherited keys that may be discarded from /Pages by
non-conformant PDF files when the /Pages tree is flattened.
Update ChangeLog and TODO
2012-06-27 14:18:29 +00:00
2012-06-27 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Add Pl_Concatenate pipeline for stream concatenation also
implemented by Tobias Hoffmann. Also added test code
(libtests/concatenate.cc).
* Add new methods implemented by Tobias Hoffmann:
QPDFObjectHandle::newReal(double) and
QPDFObjectHandle::newStream(QPDF*, std::string const&).
2012-06-26 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Minor changes so that support for PDF files larger than 4GB
works well with 32-bit and 64-bit Linux and also with 32-bit and
64-bit Windows with both MSVC and mingw.
* Rework internal methods for doing recovery of the cross
reference tables for much greater efficiency both in terms of time
and memory usage.
Update ChangeLog for previous fixes
2012-06-24 19:32:48 +00:00
2012-06-24 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Support PDF files larger than 4 GB. This involved many changes
to the ABI to increase the size of integer types used in various
places as well as increasing the amount of padding used when
creating linearized files. Automated tests for large files are
disabled by default. Run ./configure --help for information on
enabling them. Running the tests requires 11 GB of free disk
space and takes several minutes.
Add factory methods for creating empty arrays and dictionaries. Also updated pdf_from_scratch test driver to use the new factories, and made some cosmetic improvements and documentation updates for the emptyPDF() method.
2012-06-22 13:46:33 +00:00
2012-06-22 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add pdf-from-scratch example
2012-06-23 02:07:58 +00:00
* examples/pdf-create.cc: Provide an example of creating a PDF
from scratch. This simple PDF has a single page with some text
and an image.
Add factory methods for creating empty arrays and dictionaries. Also updated pdf_from_scratch test driver to use the new factories, and made some cosmetic improvements and documentation updates for the emptyPDF() method.
2012-06-22 13:46:33 +00:00
* Add empty QPDFObjectHandle factories for array and dictionary.
With PDF-from-scratch capability, it is useful to be able to
create empty arrays and dictionaries and add keys to them.
Updated pdf_from_scratch.cc to use these interfaces.
Add QPDF::processFile that takes an open FILE*
2012-06-21 11:59:56 +00:00
2012-06-21 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Add QPDF::emptyPDF() and pdf_from_scratch test code
2012-06-22 03:06:48 +00:00
* Add QPDF::emptyPDF() to create an empty QPDF object suitable for
adding pages and other objects to. pdf_from_scratch.cc is test
code that exercises it.
Fix order of build flags. Place user-specified CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS later so that user-specified non-standard paths that have old versions of qpdf don't cause the build to fail.
2012-06-22 01:20:35 +00:00
* make/libtool.mk: Place user-specified CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS later
in the compilation so that if a user installs things in a
non-standard place that they have to tell the build about, earlier
versions of qpdf installed there won't break the build. Thanks to
Macports for reporting this. (Fixes bug 3468860.)
Use qpdf_offset_t in place of off_t in public APIs. off_t is used internally only when needed to talk to standard libraries. This requires that the "long long" type be supported by the compiler.
2012-06-21 23:32:21 +00:00
* Instead of using off_t in the public APIs, use qpdf_offset_t
instead. This is defined as long long in qpdf/Types.h. If your
system doesn't support long long, you can redefine it.
ChangeLog entry for pkg-config files
2012-06-21 20:40:31 +00:00
* Add pkg-config files
Add QPDFObjectHandle::shallowCopy()
2012-06-21 20:14:34 +00:00
* QPDFObjectHandle: add shallowCopy() method
ChangeLog entries for page API
2012-06-21 19:28:58 +00:00
* QPDF: add new APIs for adding and removing pages. This includes
addPage(), addPageAt(), and removePage(). Also a method
updateAllPagesCache() is now available to force update of the
internal pages cache if you should modify the pages structure
manually.
* QPDF: new processFile method that takes an open FILE*
Add QPDF::processFile that takes an open FILE*
2012-06-21 11:59:56 +00:00
instead of a filename.
add ChangeLog entries for previous work
2012-06-21 11:58:44 +00:00
2012-06-20 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>

Fix spelling of Tobias's last name. Sorry about that!
2012-06-21 14:55:02 +00:00
Implemented by Tobias Hoffmann.

2012-06-21 11:58:44 +00:00
Spell check
2018-08-16 14:49:24 +00:00
* Rework APIs that use size_t, off_t, and primitive integer types
add ChangeLog entries for previous work
2012-06-21 11:58:44 +00:00
so that size_t is used for sizes of memory and off_t is used for
file offsets. Also set _FILE_OFFSET_BITS so that large files can
be supported on 32-bit UNIX/Linux platforms. The code assumes in
places that sizeof(off_t) >= sizeof(size_t). This resulted in
non-compatible ABI changes and hopefully clears the way for QPDF
to work with files that are larger than 4 GiB in size.
* Add support for versioned symbols on ELF platforms.
* Various fixes for gcc 4.7
2011-04-06 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* Fix PCRE to stop using deprecated (and now dropped) interfaces.
Don't declare any PCRE objects static.

* include <stdint.h> if available to support MSVC 2010
Don't declare any PCRE objects static.
2011-12-28 19:30:16 +00:00
* Since PCRE is not necessarily thread safe, don't declare any
PCRE objects to be static.
* Disregard stderr output from ghostscript when using it to
compare images in the test suite; see comments in qpdf.test for
details.
* Fixed a few documentation errors.

only a QPDF reference and leaves specification of output for
later. Add methods setOutputFilename() to set the output to a
filename or stdout, and setOutputMemory() to indicate that output
should go to a memory buffer. Add method getBuffer() to retrieve
the buffer used if output was saved to a memory buffer.
* include/qpdf/QPDF.hh: add methods replaceObject() and
swapObjects() to allow replacement of an object and swapping of
two objects by object ID.
* include/qpdf/QPDFObjectHandle.hh: add new methods getDictAsMap()
and getArrayAsVector() for returning the elements of a dictionary
or an array as a map or vector.

* libqpdf/QPDF.cc: change private "file" method to be a
PointerHolder<InputSource> to prepare qpdf for being able to work
with PDF files loaded into memory in addition to working with
files on disk.
* include/qpdf/PointerHolder.hh: add operator* and operator->
methods so that PointerHolder objects can be used like pointers.
This is consistent with the smart pointer objects in the next
revision of C++.

* libqpdf/QPDF_Stream.cc (filterable): Handle inline image filter
abbreviations as stream filter abbreviations. Although this is
not technically allowed by the PDF specification, table H.1 in the
pre-ISO spec indicates that Adobe's readers accept them. Thanks
to Jian Ma <stronghorse@tom.com> for bringing this to my
attention.

2010-04-25 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* 2.1.5: release
* libqpdf/QPDF_encryption.cc (compute_encryption_key): remove
restrictions on length of file identifier string. (Fixes
qpdf-Bugs-2991412.)
fix linearization padding bug for second xref stream as well as first, which was previously fixed git-svn-id: svn+q:///qpdf/trunk@957 71b93d88-0707-0410-a8cf-f5a4172ac649
2010-04-18 23:19:54 +00:00
2010-04-18 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* 2.1.4: release
* libqpdf/QPDFWriter.cc (writeLinearized): the padding calculation
fix in 2.1.2 was applied in only one place but it was needed in
two places since there are actually two cross reference streams in
a linearized file. The new padding calculation is now used for
both streams. Hopefully this should put an end to linearization
padding problems. (Fixes qpdf-Bugs-2979219.)

2010-04-10 13:43:16 +00:00
2010-04-10 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* qpdf/qpdf.cc (main): Since qpdf --check only checks syntax and
stream encoding without doing any semantic checks, make the output
clearer when no errors around found. This is inspired by
qpdf-Bugs-2983225.

* libqpdf/QPDF_optimization.cc (flattenScalarReferences): Flatten
scalar references for unreferenced objects as well as those seen
during traversal of the file. This matters when preserving object
streams that contain unreferenced objects with indirect scalars.
(Fixes qpdf-Bugs-2974522.) Updated TODO with a description of a
possibly better fix involving removal of flattenScalarReferences.
* libqpdf/Pl_AES_PDF.cc (finish): Don't complain if an AES input
buffer is not a multiple of 16 bytes. Instead, just pad with
nulls and hope for the best. PDF files have been encountered "in
the wild" that contain AES buffers that aren't a multiple of 16
bytes.

2010-01-24 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
* 2.1.2: release
* libqpdf/QPDFWriter.cc: fix logic error in padding calculation.
When writing linearized files with cross reference streams, the
padding calculation failed to take differences in sizes of
compressed data between pass 1 and pass 2 into consideration.

* Work around failure of PCRE test case; this test case exercises
an aspect of PCRE that qpdf does not use, and the test fails with
the version of PCRE on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, so we ignore
failure on this particular test case.
* Fix RPM .spec file to include "C" examples

* Include information about the last object read in most error
messages. Most of the time, this will provide a good hint as to
which object contains the error, but it's possible that the last
object read may not necessarily be the one that has the error if
the erroneous object was previously read and cached.

* If forcing version, disable object stream creation and/or
encryption if previous specifications are incompatible with new
version. It is still possible that PDF content, compression
schemes, etc., may be incompatible with the new version, but at
least this way, older viewers will at least have a chance.

2009-10-04 Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
Implement changes suggested by Zarko and our subsequent conversations: - Add a way to set the minimum PDF version - Add a way to force the PDF version - Have isEncrypted return true if an /Encrypt dictionary exists even when we can't read the file - Allow qpdf_init_write to be called multiple times - Update some comments in headers git-svn-id: svn+q:///qpdf/trunk@748 71b93d88-0707-0410-a8cf-f5a4172ac649

* libqpdf/Pl_LZWDecoder.cc: adjust LZWDecoder full table
detection, now having been able to adequately test boundary
conditions both and with and without early code change. Also
compared implementation with other LZW decoders.
decode streams on check, always exit abnormally when warnings are detected git-svn-id: svn+q:///qpdf/trunk@660 71b93d88-0707-0410-a8cf-f5a4172ac649

object streams to account for changes in the length of the
dictionary and offset tables.
* qpdf/qpdf.cc (main): In check mode, in addition to checking
structure of file, attempt to decode all stream data.
* libqpdf/QPDFWriter.cc (QPDFWriter::writeObject): In QDF mode,
checkpoint -- will have to finish another day git-svn-id: svn+q:///qpdf/trunk@661 71b93d88-0707-0410-a8cf-f5a4172ac649

* libqpdf/QPDF.cc (QPDF::pipeStreamData): Issue a warning instead
of failing if there is a problem found while decoding stream.
* qpdf/qpdf.cc: Exit with a status of 3 if warnings were found
regardless of what mode we're in.

2009-02-21 02:31:32 +00:00
* libqpdf/QPDF.cc (QPDF::insertXrefEntry): when recovering the
cross-reference table, have objects we encounter later in the file
supersede those we found earlier. This improves the chances of
being able to recover appended files with damaged cross-reference
tables.
fix problem with lzw decoder when run without early code change, now that we actually have test input git-svn-id: svn+q:///qpdf/trunk@646 71b93d88-0707-0410-a8cf-f5a4172ac649

* libqpdf/Pl_LZWDecoder.cc: correct logic error for previously
untested case of running the LZW decoder without the "early code
change" flag. Thanks to a bug report from "Atom Smasher", I
finally was able to obtain an input stream compressed in this way.

* qpdf/qtest/qpdf.test: removed locale-specific tests. These were
really to check bugs in perl 5.8.0 and are obsolete now. They
also make the test suite fail in some environments that don't have
all the locales fully configured.
