Hi,
I have released cups-filters 1.22.0 now, with the following changes:
- pdftopdf: Use QPDF for flattening interactive PDF forms
(Issues #2, #23, #36, Pull request #88).
- pdftopdf: Fixed bug of closing temporary file prematurely
when external PDF form flattening utilities fail (Thanks to
Tobias Hoffmann for finding this, see pull request #88).
- pdftoopvp: More fixes for building with Poppler 0.72
(Pull request #83, Issue #75).
- pdftoraster, pdftoijs, pdftoopvp: Removed support for
Poppler 0.18 (Pull request #83).
- cups-browsed: Fixed crash in applying the BrowseFilter
cups-browsed.conf directives (Debian bug #916765).
From this release on the pdftopdf filter flattens interactive PDF forms
and annotations internally, using QPDF, instead of calling external
utilities. This especially eliminates slowing factors as additional
piping of the data and unneeded use of PDF interpreters. Using external
utilities for flattening is still possible in case of problems. In
addition, a crash bug in cups-browsed got fixed and compatibility of the
filters with Poppler 0.72 assured.
Please release this on Debian so that it syncs into Ubuntu.
Thanks in advance.
Till
