how is that one calculated, imagine that in the %! fields you fill in placeholders like hereshouldgosomemagiccode, then one can run a script over the pdf, calculate that magic, and replace the string; maybe this can be hooked into xpdflib Yes, I agree, postprocessing is possible. But I did not find any digest computing alg in the range of C/C++ or Perl. Also do not known links to xpdflib.
