Introduction

This page details, in a very uneven level of specificity, work to be done.

Support for encryption

Some PDFs are encrypted. I don't really care, but I might if someone paid me enough.

Support for more compression filters

Some PDFs need to be decompressed for some operations. For the most part, for most things, this works fine right now, because a lot of useful things can be done without compressing or decompressing. Am planning on adding support for /Flate decompression with the PNG predictor options.

Support for version 1.15 compressed object streams and compressed xref streams

Currently, I plan to implement these for reading. No current plans for writing.

New "mashup" functions

Am considering putting a lot of the functionality of the example programs in a "mashup" subpackage that understands how to create documents from multiple PDFs. That and a single program to drive it would be excellent as a standalone program, and also as a demonstration of the capabilities.
