[pdftex-Bugs][939] \pdfximagebbox wrong for PDF files with /Rotate != 0
by pdftex-bugs＠sarovar.org 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Bugs item #939, was opened at 2008-04-19 21:42 >Status: Closed Priority: 3 Submitted By: Hartmut Henkel (hhenkel) Assigned to: Hartmut Henkel (hhenkel) Summary: \pdfximagebbox wrong for PDF files with /Rotate != 0 Category: PDF inclusion Group: v1.50.0-alpha >Resolution: Fixed Initial Comment: The primitive \pdfximagebbox gives a wrong boundingbox info for PDF files that contain a /Rotate key with value 90 or 270 [degrees]. Reason is that in pdftoepdf.cc the values epdf_height and epdf_width are swapped in 90 and 270 degree cases (but the epdf_orig_x and epdf_orig_y are not swapped, which makes it even more inconsistent). The proposal is that \pdfximagebbox should always deliver the unchanged original values for the actually used boundingbox (e. g. "artbox", "cropbox"...), as read from the appropriate /...Box[] array in the embedded PDF file. The epdf_height and epdf_width values should _not_ be swapped for \pdfximagebbox. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2010-07-28 12:40 Message: Fixed in 1.40.11 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2008-04-22 08:35 Message: Hrm. Is \pdfximagebbox actually used? And if it's used, is it enough when /Rotate is present or do we need a way to enquire about /Rotate? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=939&group_id=106

[pdftex-Bugs][4309] pdftex fails to include seemingly good PDF

So everything is fine, sorry for the noise. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hartmut Henkel (hhenkel) Date: 2010-04-16 18:24 Message: the PDF Ref. 5. ed writes in 3.2.9 Indirect Objects: "Any object in a PDF file may be labeled as an indirect object. [...] (for example, as an element of an array or as the value of a dictionary entry)." This can be interpreted, that as e. g., /Type1 is just such a dictionary value (entry "/Subtype /Type1"), it's ok to replace it by an indirect object reference. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hartmut Henkel (hhenkel) Date: 2010-04-16 18:12 Message: maybe one should not be too picky and still keep copying probably illegal (?) things like /Subtype 2 0 R. You can try this with the attached file xx.tex, where the resulting PDF needs manual editing to replace e. g., /Font or /Type1 by a reference "1 0 R" or "2 0 R". Neither xpdf nor acrobat have any problems displaying such a PDF file! But when the /Subtype info from an embedded PDF is removed during embedding, a later application might well run into problems. So maybe better keep it "garbage in -- garbage out". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=4309&group_id=106
