| LRN | i'm looking at creating pdf pages from the whole cloth by simply dropping a few PS instructions (save, transform, draw foreign object, restore) and adding an image resource, the way mutool create does. Question is, what should i do about image names? They must be unique, right? | 20:48.07 |
| | i mean - unique within the whole document, not just within a page | 20:48.50 |
| | or not? | 20:48.53 |
| | I can probably tease the answer from the PDF spec and mupdf source code, but figured that picking your brains for the answer is going to be much faster | 20:49.30 |
| | nah, it doesn't seem to be necessary. Just used mutool create to create a 2-page PDF file with two images with the same name, and it works just fine. | 21:09.10 |
| | It seems that the image name should only be unique within a page (specifically - within the Resources catalogue) | 21:11.16 |
| tor8 | LRN: yes, each page has its own resource set | 22:48.32 |
| | there should be some code that detects duplicates (so specifying the same image file on many pages should only include one copy) | 22:49.07 |
| LRN | tor8, "should be" as in "mupdf does it", or as in "i have to do it"? | 22:49.44 |
| tor8 | that is, if you're using 'mutool create' | 22:49.54 |
| | if you're asking about the PDF spec, then that's a different question with pretty much the same answer -- each page has its own name space for resources | 22:50.19 |
| | LRN: mupdf does it (unless something has broken) | 22:50.37 |
| LRN | okay | 22:50.51 |
| tor8 | time for bed. I'll be back tomorrow. | 22:52.09 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2017/10/03)>>> | |
