That is not at all true. You can embed the data into a PDF stream but never reference it. You'll have to check for an available stream ID and also correct the cross reference table. You could in fact leave the original cross reference table intact, add a new stream with your metadata after the original %%EOF marker, construct the cross-reference table with only one entry (the stream containing the metadata), and adding another %%EOF marker. This is perfectly legit PDF and in fact is the recommended way to use incremental updates as per page 70 of the PDF reference. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
