| | 2 | ----------------------- |
|---|
| | 3 | |
|---|
| | 4 | - Add basic support for comments in PDF files. This allows us to read some |
|---|
| | 5 | ReportLab PDFs that could not be read before. |
|---|
| | 6 | |
|---|
| | 7 | - Add "auto-repair" for finding xref table at slightly bad locations. |
|---|
| | 8 | |
|---|
| | 9 | - New StreamObject backend, cleaner and more powerful. Allows the use of |
|---|
| | 10 | stream filters more easily, including compressed streams. |
|---|
| | 11 | |
|---|
| | 12 | - Add a graphics state push/pop around page merges. Improves quality of |
|---|
| | 13 | page merges when one page's content stream leaves the graphics |
|---|
| | 14 | in an abnormal state. |
|---|
| | 15 | |
|---|
| | 16 | - Add PageObject.compressContentStreams function, which filters all content |
|---|
| | 17 | streams and compresses them. This will reduce the size of PDF pages, |
|---|
| | 18 | especially after they could have been decompressed in a mergePage |
|---|
| | 19 | operation. |
|---|
| | 20 | |
|---|
| | 21 | - Support inline images in PDF content streams. |
|---|
| | 22 | |
|---|
| | 23 | - Add support for using .NET framework compression when zlib is not |
|---|
| | 24 | available. This does not make pyPdf compatible with IronPython, but it |
|---|
| | 25 | is a first step. |
|---|
| | 26 | |
|---|
| | 27 | - Add support for reading the document information dictionary, and extracting |
|---|
| | 28 | title, author, subject, producer and creator tags. |
|---|
| | 29 | |
|---|
| | 30 | - Add patch to support NullObject and multiple xref streams, from Bradley |
|---|
| | 31 | Lawrence. |
