This results in a performance penalty of 1% to 2% when replaceObject
and swapObjects are never called and a somewhat larger penalty if they
are called, but it's worth it to avoid very confusing behavior as
discussed in depth in qpdf#507.
Also fix a bug in checking consistency of length for stream data
providers. Length should not be checked or recorded if the provider
says it failed to generate the data.
Avoid calling finish() multiple times on the pipeline passed to
pipeContentStreams. This commit also fixes a bug in which qpdf was not
exiting with the proper exit status if warnings found while splitting
pages; this was exposed by a test case that changed.
Make some more methods in QPDFPageObjectHelper work with form
XObjects, provide forEach methods to walk through nested form
XObjects, possibly recursively. This should make it easier to work
with form XObjects from user code.
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.
* 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
This makes all integer type conversions that have potential data loss
explicit with calls that do range checks and raise an exception. After
this commit, qpdf builds with no warnings when -Wsign-conversion
-Wconversion is used with gcc or clang or when -W3 -Wd4800 is used
with MSVC. This significantly reduces the likelihood of potential
crashes from bogus integer values.
There are some parts of the code that take int when they should take
size_t or an offset. Such places would make qpdf not support files
with more than 2^31 of something that usually wouldn't be so large. In
the event that such a file shows up and is valid, at least qpdf would
raise an error in the right spot so the issue could be legitimately
addressed rather than failing in some weird way because of a silent
overflow condition.
