- a story is read once however many text objects name it; the text objects, their pairs with the
page's type, the pieces of a line and a story's size are capped, and over a cap the layers aren't used
- the ASCII85 of the text document is bounded before it is decoded
- joining the pieces of lines that interleave no longer removes the wrong pieces
- a run length too large for the text saturates instead of overflowing
- a dictionary left open at the end of a layer, and layers nested deeper than are read, make the
file one that comes in as its page (they were silently dropped)
- a file whose editing data can't be decoded says so, and the notes about art that was too much or
too far away count as losses, so writing over the source asks first
- the private data of a .ai is inflated under a cap of its own (the PDF reader's decoder has none)
- the other writers (PDF, selection, office, print) ask before replacing a source that lost things,
and a recovered copy remembers that

An Illustrator EPS is a flattened page plus, after %%EOF, an editing copy of
the document; a PDF-compatible .ai carries the same in its private data.
Importing only the page lost layer names, order, visibility, hidden layers
and hidden objects and hidden text.
- eps: read the editing copy (Zstandard %AI24_DataStream, older zlib
%AI9_DataStream) into layers, sublayers, groups, compound paths, clip
groups and hidden objects, run by the existing PostScript interpreter.
Falls back to the page, with a warning, when a shown layer uses an
operator that isn't read or the art differs from the page by over 5%.
- eps: read the text document (ate.rs) to place type on hidden layers and
objects; the page's type is matched to the file's text objects by
position (pieces of a line included) and kept with the nearest one when
none claims it. Area type and type on a path are left out with a note.
- pdf/engine: .ai files go through the same reader.
- engine/cli: a file whose import left things out isn't overwritten unless
asked (acknowledgeLoss, --replace-lossy).
- eps: font names re-encoded with a *<n> suffix resolve to their family.
- i18n: es/it/ru for the new import messages; ROADMAP updated.
Container and text-document formats were inferred from user-owned files; the
Adobe file format specification was not read.

- pdf/src/encrypt.rs encrypts a written PDF with the standard security handler: 128-bit RC4
(PDF 1.4, revision 3; PDF 1.5, revision 4), 128-bit AES (1.6) or 256-bit AES (1.7/2.0,
revision 6), every string and stream, plaintext XMP metadata when asked, the permission bits
(printing none/low/high, five change levels, copy, screen readers). Crypto from RustCrypto
(aes, md-5, sha2: MIT OR Apache-2.0, pure Rust, wasm).
- PDF/A and PDF/X refuse passwords; equal passwords and passwords the algorithm can't take are
refused.
- Opening: the permissions password opens RC4/AES-128 files too; editing data comes back from
an encrypted PDF opened with its password.
- Save PDF › Security: the passwords, permissions and plaintext metadata, the encryption level.

A PostScript file (a .ai saved in an older format or without PDF
compatibility, or an .eps, plain or with a binary header) is refused by any
name with a clear message instead of a parse error (there is no PostScript
importer yet). An .ai whose pages are only placeholder text over the editor's
private data (PieceInfo AIPrivateData) is detected and refused with advice to
save it with PDF compatibility, instead of opening the placeholder.

Opening or placing a PDF or .ai with several pages or a password shows the
Import PDF / Place PDF dialog: a page preview with page navigation, Pages
(All or a range) when opening, Crop To (Bounding Box, Art, Crop, Trim, Bleed,
Media) and a password prompt for encrypted files.
- vectorcraft-pdf: ImportOptions.pages / crop / password, CropTo, info()
(pages, sizes, rotation, boxes); NeedsPassword / WrongPassword / BadPage
errors; images keyed by content so placed pages merge safely.
- document.open takes pages, page, cropTo (or crop) and password;
document.pdfInfo (query) lists pages and boxes, reports needsPassword and
renders a page thumbnail.
- file.place and file.place.info read only the page placed and take every
PDF box as crop (art, trim, bleed, media besides crop and bounding) and a
password; the UI's File > Place asks with the dialog when no page is given,
keeping Link, Template and the other place params.
- testkit::pdf writes hand-made PDFs with page boxes and RC4 encryption.
