[pdftex-Feature Requests][4348] Support custom /Filter for pdf data streams

Feature Requests item #4348, was opened at 2012-04-04 16:30 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Christian Feuersaenger (ludewich) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Support custom /Filter for pdf data streams Category: PDF generation Group: None Resolution: None Initial Comment: Hi, while working with binary streams in pdftex/luatex I encountered a problem with /Filter : if I provide a /Filter argument for my stream (I wanted to use base 64) and \pdfcompresslevel>0, pdftex will overwrite my filter. The result looks like 4 0 obj << /ShadingType 5 /BitsPerCoordinate 24 /BitsPerComponent 16 /VerticesPerRow 25 /ColorSpace /DeviceRGB/Decode [-16383.999992 16384 -16383.999992 16384 0 1] /Function << /FunctionType 3 /Domain [0 1] /Functions [ << /FunctionType 2 /Domain [0 1] /C0 [0 0 1] /C1 [1 1 0] /N 1 >> << /FunctionType 2 /Domain [0 1] /C0 [1 1 0] /C1 [1 0.5 0] /N 1 >> << /FunctionType 2 /Domain [0 1] /C0 [1 0.5 0] /C1 [1 0 0] /N 1 >> ] /Bounds [ 0.33333 0.66666] /Encode [ 0 1 0 1 0 1] >> /Filter /ASCIIHexDecode /Length 4822 /Filter /FlateDecode >> stream .... which results in a complete loss of data because my own /Filter argument is ignored; the file is corrupted. To correct the file, I have to enter /Filter [/FlateDecode /ASCIIHexDecode] FEATURE REQUEST: I believe it would be cool if pdftex would scan the attributes for a /Filter argument and insert its compression filter as first filter. WORK-AROUND: set \pdfcompresslevel=0 before generating the pdf stream object containing a custom filter.
