content

M8.5/M8.6/M8.7: Redact a PDF: new content crate (L2: content-stream operators with spans, inline images, serializer, matrices) and redact crate (L4): Redact annotations; apply removes glyphs (TJ displacement keeps the rest in place; simple, composite/CMap and Type 3 fonts), clears covered image pixels (or removes images it can't re-encode), removes or clips vectors and shadings, rewrites form XObjects copy-on-write, removes overlapping comments, links and fields, draws the boxes with overlay text, then verifies and fails closed; redacted documents save as a full rewrite. Search & Redact text and patterns (phone, e-mail, credit card, SSN, dates). UI: Redact tool (text or box), Redact pages, Find text and redact, Set properties, Clear all / Redact all with confirmation; redact_mark/redact_apply/redact_clear tools (57 tools). Fix: deleting a field when /AcroForm is a direct dictionary

cos

M9 perf: signature revalidation after edits reuses the signed ranges' digests and the parsed signed revision (DigestCache per document) and no longer scans the file for revision markers: a comment edit on a 120 MB signed file takes 6 ms instead of 84 ms; cos exposes xref entries so unchanged objects are skipped when diffing revisions

create

M7.4: Edit a PDF ▸ Add content: text (click and type; standard fonts, size, bold/italic, colour, alignment, wrapping) and images (PNG/JPEG/TIFF/GIF/BMP, centred at natural size) as page content that stays editable: each item is its own tagged content stream with its parameters, drawn in display space; select, move, resize (images keep proportions), double-click to retype, Format text panel, Delete; Bates numbering ▸ Add opens Header & Footer with a Bates number. content_list/page_add_text/page_add_image/content_update/content_delete tools (66 tools). Lucide align-center/right icons

crypt

Session 4: M1.6 encryption (crypt crate R2-R6), M4 command registry, combine/extract/split, autosave + crash recovery, asset policy + xtask assets, README screenshots

2026-09-30 23:12:34 -04:00

edit

M7: Backgrounds and watermarks from a file: an image or a page of a PDF (imported as a form XObject that draws upright, inherited resources included), scaled relative to the page, with rotation, opacity and placement; Source ▸ File in the dialogs; doc_watermark / doc_background take file, file_page and scale

fonts

M6.1/M6.2: form filling: new fonts (L2) and forms (L3) crates; field tree with inheritance, widgets, options; set_value with validation and regenerated appearances (auto-size, comb, multiline, password, quadding, /MK, combo, list selection), check/radio states (own AP when missing), reset to /DV; engine SetFieldValue/ResetForm with fill-forms permission; UI in-place editor (Enter/click-away commit, Escape, Tab with select-all), check/radio toggle, choice popup, Clear form; tools form_fields/form_fill/form_reset. Perf: named destinations indexed once (190 MB manual opens in 1.8 s instead of 172 s); comment and form edits refresh view data from the object graph instead of a full re-inspection (6x faster per edit on large files; equivalence-tested). annot uses the shared fonts helpers. Docs, parity, roadmap.

forms

M6: Order tabs manually: the Fields panel lists fields in tab order and, while preparing a form, moves a field earlier or later on its page (widgets reordered in /Annots, other annotations keep their places, page switches to annotation order); form_tab_order takes field + move

model

M7.6: header & footer, watermark, background: new model (L2: page tree with inheritance, display geometry) and edit (L4) crates; marks drawn in display space on rotated pages, artifact-tagged and /PCMark-tagged (found without decompressing), original content wrapped in q/Q, page resources copied not shared; Acrobat tokens (page numbers, dates, Bates); Add/Update/Remove with exact restore of the original content; dialogs with page range options (subsets) and previews; 9 commands; tools doc_header_footer/doc_watermark/doc_background/doc_remove_marks (44 tools); dialogs outline their controls

optimize

M11.1: PDF Optimizer: new optimize crate measures each image's effective resolution where pages draw it and resamples (bicubic) and recompresses (JPEG quality steps or ZIP) colour and grayscale images, soft masks with them, only when smaller; discards thumbnails, alternate images, tags and print settings; Flate for unencoded streams. Reduce File Size now downsamples like Acrobat (150 ppi above 225, JPEG medium); Optimize PDF dialog (Images, Discard Objects, Discard User Data, Clean Up) composes Remove Hidden Information; doc_optimize tool (84 tools)

organize

M4: Initial View: Document Properties ▸ Initial View (navigation panel, page layout, magnification, open-to page, window and interface options) and Advanced ▸ reading options (binding, language), honoured when a document opens; script open actions are kept; Bookmarks panel options expand all, expand top-level or collapse all; doc_initial_view tool (85 tools)

print

M10.5: Print: new print crate (L4) imposes the pages to print onto sheets (Fit/Actual/Shrink/Custom, Multiple pages per sheet with order, borders and auto-rotate, Booklet, Poster with overlap and cut marks, orientation, Comments & Forms honouring the Print flag) as a fresh print-ready PDF; page ranges with labels, odd/even, reverse; CUPS spooler (printers, copies, collation, duplex, monochrome). Print dialog (⌘P) with a live sheet preview from page thumbnails and Save as PDF; print permission enforced; printers/doc_print tools (61 tools)

render

M5: Polygon, Connected lines, Cloud (cloudy border appearance), Callout (leader line with arrow, /RD text box, resize re-attaches the leader) and Insert text (caret) comments: annot shapes and appearances, click-to-place-points and drag-to-callout tools in the Comment/Highlight/Draw flyouts, /IT carried to the comment list (Callout, Cloud labels), comment_add types polygon/cloud/polyline/callout/caret
