Various PDF digital signing tools do not encrypt /Contents value in
signature dictionary. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC can handle a PDF with
the /Contents value not encrypted.
Write Contents in signature dictionary without encryption
Tests ensure that string /Contents are not handled specially when not
found in sig dicts.
Table 8.93 "Entries in a signature dictionary" in PDF 1.5 reference
describes that the value of Contents entry is a hexadecimal string
representation when ByteRange is specified.
This commit makes QPDF always uses hexadecimal strings representation
instead of literal strings for it.
This change works around STL problems with Embarcadero C++ Builder
version 10.2, but std::vector is more common than std::list in qpdf,
and this is a relatively new API, so an API change is tolerable.
Thanks to Thorsten Schöning <6223655+ams-tschoening@users.noreply.github.com>
for the fix.
This also reverts the addition of a new checkLinearization that
distinguishes errors from warnings. There's no practical distinction
between what was considered an error and what was considered a
warning.
Use PointerHolder in several places where manually memory allocation
and deallocation were being used. This helps to protect against memory
leaks when exceptions are thrown in surprising places.
In a small number of cases, it makes sense to replace an overloaded
function with a function that takes a default argument. We can do this
now because we've already broken binary compatibility since the last
release.
Have classes contain only a single private member of type
PointerHolder<Members>. This makes it safe to change the structure of
the Members class without breaking binary compatibility. Many of the
classes already follow this pattern quite successfully. This brings in
the rest of the class that are part of the public API.
