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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The original QPDF is only required now when the source
QPDFObjectHandle is a stream that gets its stream data from a
QPDFObjectHandle::StreamDataProvider.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Remove calls to assertPageObject(). All cases in the library that
called assertPageObject() work fine if you don't call
assertPageObject() because nothing assumes anything that was being
checked by that call. Removing the calls enables more files to be
successfully processed.
