#2305 fixed WinAnsi 0xAD in `crates/fonts`, and closed with two loose ends it named: the user-visible extraction path goes through hayro, not that table, so it still reported the invisible character; and the same Annex D.2 note makes 0xA0 the `space` glyph. This finishes both, and makes the two tables in the product agree about the same byte. WinAnsiEncoding gives codes 0xA0 and 0xAD the glyph names `space` and `hyphen` -- the names it also gives 0x20 and 0x2D -- and MacRomanEncoding gives 0xCA `space`. The tables called them `nbspace` and `sfthyphen`, whose Adobe Glyph List values U+00A0 and U+00AD are invisible formatting characters, so extraction hid ink the reader can see: "well-known" drawn with the 0xAD byte matched no search and no redaction pattern, and a non-breaking space did not match the space a reader typed. Evidence. Two sources transcribe the table the same way (an Annex D implementation's docs, and the WinAnsi.enc encoding vector R ships, which gives `/space` at octal 240 and `/hyphen` at 255), and a black-box check settles the rest: on a synthetic fixture pdftotext reads the base-encoded codes as `a-b a b`, and keeps U+00AD for a code an explicit `/Differences` names `sfthyphen`. We now do both. Over the 989-file pdf.js corpus the soft hyphens we extract fall from 117 to 13 and the non-breaking spaces from 30 to 26; everything left comes from `/ToUnicode` maps, which say what they mean and are not touched. Scope. The base table only, in the text direction only. - A `/Differences` entry naming `sfthyphen` or `nbspace` is a deliberate statement about one code and keeps its glyph list value, as pdftotext does. - Glyph lookup is untouched, so a font program's own `sfthyphen` program is still found first. In hayro that is why the alias sits in the Unicode path rather than in the generated encoding table: `code_to_ps_name` is shared with lookup. - Writing is unaffected: `encode` takes the lowest code showing a character, so ' ' and '-' still write 0x20 and 0x2D, and a caller holding a literal U+00A0 still writes 0xA0. Tests. `fonts` pins both tables and the whole decode/encode path including the `/Differences` case; `render` pins the extraction a reader actually gets, over WinAnsi, MacRoman and `/Differences`. Each was watched failing with each cell and each match arm reverted in turn, so no assertion is passing by accident. fonts 70, render 296+4, redact 49, a11y 43 and edit 156 are green, with fmt, clippy, `xtask layers` (37 crates) and `xtask assets` clean.

hayro-interpret
A crate for interpreting PDF files.
This crate provides an abstraction to interpret the content of a PDF file and render them
into an abstract [Device], which clients can implement as needed. This allows you, for
example, to render PDF files to bitmaps (which is what the hayro crate does), or other formats
such as SVG.
It should be noted that this crate is still very much in development. Therefore it currently lacks pretty much any documentation on how to use it. It's current API also only really makes it useful for rendering to PNG or SVG, though this will be improved upon in the future.
Examples
See the examples folder on the GitHub repository. Apart from that, you can also consult
the implementation of hayro and hayro-svg to get an idea on how to use this crate.
Safety
This crate forbids unsafe code via a crate-level attribute.
Cargo features
This crate has one optional feature:
embed-fonts: PDF processors are required to support 14 predefined fonts that do not need to be embedded into a PDF file. If you enable this feature, hayro will embed a (permissively-licensed) substitute for each font, so that you don't have to implement your custom font loading logic. This will add around ~240KB to your binary.

PdfCraft function limits
The PdfCraft patch rejects function construction after 64 nested functions or 10,000 total
function nodes, including repeated references, and detects cycles on the current path. Shared
children in different branches remain valid. Stitching functions reject empty or unresolved
child lists instead of silently truncating them. Calculator functions have a shared limit of 64
procedure levels and 10,000 parsed tokens (operators and procedure openings); evaluation has
its own 10,000-operator limit across selected branches. These are implementation resource
limits rather than PDF format limits. Rejection returns the existing None, and the optional
logging feature reports the reason and limit; no new interface warning is introduced.
Calculator integer division without an integer result is also rejected. Bit shifting discards bits beyond the 32-bit word and fills with zeroes, including logical right shifts of negative words; rotation accepts the full signed shift range without negating the minimum integer. Fixed-size operand and procedure-stack overflow errors propagate instead of truncating work. Normal function signatures and supported color/transfer-function behavior remain unchanged.
