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.
On read, ignore /DecodeParms when empty list; on write, delete it.
Some files have been found that include an empty list for
/DecodeParms, but this is not technically compliant with the spec, and
the only sensible interpretation is to treat it as if there are no
decode parameters.
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.
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.
