Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2007-1383
2007-08-01 20:42:38.394652
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : xpdf
Product : Fedora 7
Version : 3.02
Release : 1.fc7
Summary : A PDF file viewer for the X Window System
Description :
Xpdf is an X Window System based viewer for Portable Document Format
(PDF) files. Xpdf is a small and efficient program which uses
standard X fonts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Changes since 3.01: Added anti-aliasing for vector graphics; added the
vectorAntialias xpdfrc option; added the "-aaVector" switch to xpdf and
pdftoppm. Implemented stroke adjustment (always enabled by default, ignoring
the SA parameter, to match Adobe's behavior), and added the strokeAdjust xpdfrc
command.
Support PDF 1.6 and PDF 1.7. Added support for AES decryption.
Added support for OpenType fonts (only tested with 8-bit CFF data so far).
Added user-configurable key/mouse bindings - the bind/unbind xpdfrc commands.
Cleaned up the full-screen mode code and added the ability to toggle it on the
fly (the default key binding is alt-f). Pdfimages with the -j option now writes
JPEG files for 1-component (grayscale) DCT images, in addition to 3-component
(RGB) images. Fixed bugs in handling sampled (type 0) functions with 32-bit
samples. Fixed some things to support DeviceN color spaces with up to 32
colorants. Pdftops now constructs the %%Creator and %%Title DSC comments from
the
relevant information in the PDF Info dictionary. Tweak the TrueType font
encoding deciphering algorithm. Added the "mapUnkownCharNames" xpdfrc option.
Fix a bug (that only showed up with certain window managers) in the
intermediate resize event optimization. [Thanks to Michael Rogers.] Check for a
broken/missing embedded font (this was causing xpdf to crash).
Added support for transfer functions in PostScript output.
Be a bit more tolerant of Link destinations that contain null values for
positioning parameters. Use ordered dot dithering instead of clustered dot
dithering at resolutions below 300 dpi (for monochrome output). Fixed security
holes (bounds checking issues) in several places. Don't bother creating a
SplashFont (allocating memory) for fonts that are only used for hidden text -
this avoids problems with fonts of unreasonably large sizes.
Clipping in TextOutputDev was off for characters on the left edge of the page.
The scn and SCN operators weren't correctly handling colors with more than four
components. FoFiType1::writeEncoded wasn't always correctly finding the end of
the encoding. Use the ColorTransform parameter in the DCTDecode stream
dictionary. Type 3 fonts are allowed to have a bbox of [0 0 0 0], which means
"unspecified" -- don't issue error messages in that case. Perform the transform
(to device space) in Splash instead of in SplashOutputDev -- this is needed to
correctly handle round joins
and caps on stroked paths. PSOutputDev now rasterizes any pages that use
transparency. Limit the crop, bleed, trim, and art boxes to the edges of the
media box (per the PDF spec). Change GString to increase the allocation
increment by powers of two. Handle whitespace in hex strings in CMap
files/streams. Use strings instead of names for separation colorant names in
PSOutputDev.
For explicitly masked images where the mask is higher resolution than the
image, use the soft mask code. Avoid problems with very large x-steps in the
PostScript output for tiling pattern fills.
Avoid a divide-by-zero in stitching functions which have a subfunction with
empty bounds. Honor the "Hidden", "NoView", and "Print" flags on annotations.
Rewrote the pixel rendering code in Splash to use a single set of pixel
pipeline functions. Added support for transparency groups and soft masks. Fixed
the transparency blend functions to match the addendum published
by Adobe. Changed Splash/SplashBitmap to store alpha in a separate plane.
Setting the color space now selects the correct default color for that color
space. Remove the mutex lock from GlobalParams::getErrQuiet() to avoid a
deadlock when parseCIDToUnicode() or parseUnicodeToUnicode() calls it from
inside a locked section. Added error checking (on the argument count) in the
sc/SC/scn/SCN operators. Skip over notdef glyphs in TrueType fonts (which
sometimes get drawn as little boxes), to match Adobe's behavior. Painting
operations in a Separation color space with the "None" colorant or a DeviceN
color space with all colorants set to "None" never mark the page. Fixed an
obscure bug in the JPX decoder - it wasn't reading the extra stuffing byte in
the case where the last byte of a packet header was 0xff. Change the TrueType
font parser (FoFiTrueType) to change the glyph count rather than report an
error if the 'loca' table is too small.
Fixed a couple of bugs in the JBIG2 decoder. Added stochastic clustered dot
dithering. Added the screenType, screenSize, screenDotRadius, screenGamma,
screenBlackThreshold, and screenWhiteThreshold xpdfrc settings. PSOutputDev now
correctly handles invalid Type 3 charprocs which don't start with a d0 or d1
operator. FreeType 2.2.x support - get rid of the FT_INTERNAL_OBJECTS_H
include, and add some 'const' declarations.
Handle PDFDocEncoding in Info dictionary strings. Tweak the xref repair code -
ignore whitespace at the start of lines when looking for objects. Added the
"-exec" switch to xpdf. Removed the xpdf.viKeys X resource. Changed the color
key / explicit masked image code in PSOutputDev to generate better PS code,
including a Level 3 option. Tweaked the DEBUG_MEM code for performance. Move
the JBIG2 global stream reading code into reset() instead of the constructor -
this way, pdftotext doesn't end up reading the global stream. Added the
"-preload" option to pdftops and the psPreload xpdfrc command. Added the "zoom
to selection" command (on the popup menu). Fix a bug (in xpdf/pdftoppm/pdftops)
with tiling patterns whose bbox size is different from their xStep/yStep.
Implemented stroke with pattern color spaces. Following a link to a page whose
CropBox was different from the MediaBox was resulting in an incorrect scroll
position. Parse truncated date strings from the Info dictionary
correctly. Change FoFiType1 to handle Type 1 fonts with two /Encoding keys.
Extend the PSOutputDev shaded fill code to handle DeviceCMYK shaded fills in
level2sep and level3sep modes. Detect infinite loops in the Page tree.
Optimized the ASCII85Encoder code. Tweaked the text extractor to do a better
job of lining up rows of text. Leave images compressed (or re-compress them
with RLE) in PostScript output when setting up images for forms and Type 3
fonts (or with -preload). Extend FoFiType1 to handle Type 1 fonts with octal
character codes in their encodings. Use a custom string formatter to avoid
problems with locale-based decimal formatting (commas instead of periods) in PS
output.
Allow comments in PostScript-type functions. Change the TrueType font parser
(FoFiTrueType) to delete glyf table entries that are too short.
