PNG image embedding
by Hartmut Henkel 08 Jul '04

08 Jul '04

There is a small q+d patch on my homepage at http://www.circuitwizard.de/pdftex/patch5/index.html which tries to embed PNG files natively, without the usual slow decompressing + compressing steps done by pdftex---only if the PNG image type allows that. This usually results in a smaller overall PDF file size, as the original line-by-line predictor type informations from the PNG image are carried over into the PDF file. And the PNG embedding is speedier. Best Regards, Hartmut P.S. The newest libtiff comes with a tiff2pdf program. Quite handy.

I just wondered about the output of 'pdfetex --version' and have fixed pdfetexextra.h in p4 (still for rc3).

What error did you get? It is ok here also. I have erased cmr10 from the pdftex.map and tested by \font\f=cmr10 at 100pt. Best regards Akira

pdftex-1.20-rc4

Hi, I uploaded pdftex-1.20a-rc4 to pdftex.sarovar.org/src. This version fixes the problem with finding fonts in included pdf, as discussed before. I also did some (heavy) cleaning up in the code handling fonts, so expect the unexpected. Thanh
