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.
Download external libraries from an isolated branch in github to avoid
dependencies on external download locations, which cause sporadic CI
build failures.
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.
Explicitly abandon removal of unreferenced resources if there are any
lexical errors in the page's contents. This case always generated a
warning, but it now also prevents removal of unreferenced resources,
this strongly decreasing the likelihood of data loss.
When removing unreferenced resources, the code was copying the overall
resource dictionaries but not the subdictionaries being modified. This
was a "typo" in the code -- the comment clearly stated the need to do
this, but the code replaced the dictionary with itself rather than
with a shallow copy of itself.
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.
