* Add support for PCLm using setPCLm() and writePCLm() methods in
QPDFWriter.hh and QPDFWriter.cc
* Add a function writePCLmHeader() for PCLm header in QPDFWriter
There is no need for a --precheck-streams option. We can do the
precheck without imposing any penalty, only re-encoding the stream if
it fails the first time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Explicitly state how QPDF handles empty passwords when writing files.
Apparently some libraries treat the empty string as the owner password
as an instruction to generate a random password.
Original code was written before we could shallow copy objects, so all
the filtering was done by suppressing the output of certain keys and
replacing them with other keys. Now we can simplify the code greatly
by modifying shallow copies of dictionaries in place.
Read and write support is implemented for /V=5 with /R=5 as well as
/R=6. /R=5 is the deprecated encryption method used by Acrobat IX.
/R=6 is the encryption method used by PDF 2.0 from ISO 32000-2.
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.
Significantly improve the code's use of off_t for file offsets, size_t
for memory sizes, and integer types in cases where there has to be
compatibility with external interfaces. Rework sections of the code
that would have prevented qpdf from working on files larger than 2 (or
maybe 4) GB in size.
