So once you say
pdf.obj{type = "stream", string = string.char(255)}
pdf.obj("stream", string.char(255))
you don't use an explicit string, but you still get the error.
As shown in note 0000309, moving the stuff to external file is not the
complete solution either.
can't you use the
Output in byte-sized chunks can be achieved by using characters just
outside of the valid Unicode range,
starting at the value 1;114;112 (0x110000). When the times comes to
print a character c> = 1;114;112,
LuaTEX will actually print the single byte corresponding to c minus
1,114,112.
trick?
Since binary streams are not likely to be valid UTF-8, using \pdfobj or
pdf.obj() with "stream" keyword doesn't seem usable at all.
But since we're not limited to strings, perhaps pdf stream data could be
provided as:
-- lua function returning the stream once called?
pdf.obj{type = "stream", data = function() return string.char(255) end}
-- array of integers representing bytes to be written?
pdf.obj{type = "stream", data = {255}}
brrr
Am I missing some workaround? How do you guys handle it in context?
what exactly do you want to write to the pdf?
