AW: storing metadata

2002-10-28 Thread J.U. Anderegg
Hi Paul,

this is how Acrobat embeds files. Follow the indirect PDF object references:

5 0 obj
<<
/Pages 2 0 R
/Type /Catalog
/Metadata 19 0 R
/Names 17 0 R <<<--- add this entry
>>
endobj

17 0 obj <<<--- add this object
<<
/EmbeddedFiles 18 0 R
>>
endobj

18 0 obj <<<--- add this object
<<
/Names [ (?y M y D a t a)14 0 R ] <<<--- relate internal name to file object
>>
endobj

14 0 obj <<<--- add this file object
<<
/F (eink03.txt)
/Type /F
/EF << /F 15 0 R >>  <<<--- file content reference
>>
endobj

15 0 obj <<<--- add file content
<< /Filter [ /FlateDecode ] /Length 1913 /Type /EmbeddedFile /Params <<
/CheckSum <0a9b1bb2b166ecefaaf4a9e028e70567>/Size 9296 /CreationDate
(D:20020326101325)
/ModDate (D:20020326101330)>>
/Subtype /text#2Fplain >>
stream
H??WM?$5??4y!/}a???8O
...
endstream
endobj

Question: why storing XSL:FO instead of XML + XSL - having the user edit XML
data and FOP reformat, repaginate the document?

Metadata look like this:


19 0 obj
<< /Type /Metadata /Subtype /XML /Length 1311 >>

Re: AW: storing metadata

The standard answer is to improve the functionality of FOP pdf generation
to rival the adobe products.

My motivation is to embed the FO that generated the PDF so I can edit
and/or regenerate the PDF.

Cheers

Paul.

Hi Paul,

Do you want to embed the XSL:FO input in the PDF document?

If this is so:
o "embedding files in PDF" is the thing to do, but quite a challenge to
build into the PDF renderer.
o out of pure curiosity: why?
