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.
* Several assertions in linearization were not always true; change
them to run time errors
* Handle a few cases of uninitialized objects
* Handle pages with no contents when doing form operations
* Handle invalid page tree nodes when traversing 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.
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.
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.
Add options to enable the raw encryption key to be directly shown or
specified. Thanks to Didier Stevens <didier.stevens@gmail.com> for the
idea and contribution of one implementation of this idea.
Replace the old msys, mingw-w64, ActiveState perl setup with MSYS2.
This greatly simplifies the Windows build. This was facilitated by the
need to incorporate JPEG.
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.
There have been a few enhancements requested that only affect the qpdf
command line tool and that should be relatively quick to implement.
Work out the details and acknowledge these publicly in the TODO file.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Also updated pdf_from_scratch test driver to use the new factories,
and made some cosmetic improvements and documentation updates for the
emptyPDF() method.
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.
