Validation problem with PDF files produced by pdftex
by Fabrice Popineau 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

Hi folks, There is a recurring problem with PDF files produced by pdftex in France. Whenever PhD thesis documents are submitted to the French national archives, they have to be validated by some automated process which relies on pdftk (apparently). And files compiled by pdftex are rejected. The problem is described here : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.text.pdf/ZnobgbiiDZ4 French pdftex users will have an eternal gratitude to whoever will fix this :-) Best regards, -- Fabrice Popineau ----------------------------- CentraleSupelec Département Informatique 3, rue Joliot Curie 91192 Gif/Yvette Cedex Tel direct : +33 (0) 169851950 Standard : +33 (0) 169851212 ------------------------------

Hi Akira, hi all, (please cc, not on the list) > (2) New primitives \pdfinfoomitdate and \pdftrailerid. > If \pdfinfoomitdate=1, date is omitted. > If \pdftrailerid{somestring}, somestring is used as the trailer. > It can be \pdftrailerid{}. I am playing with this and found that it doesn't work without problems in ini files: $ pdftex -ini ***\relax entering extended mode *\input pdftexconfig.tex (/home/norbert/tl/2016/texmf-dist/tex/generic/tex-ini-files/pdftexconfig.tex) *\pdfinfoomitdate = 1 *\pdfsuppressptexinfo = 1 *\pdftrailerid{} ! Missing { inserted. <to be read again> { <*> \pdftrailerid{ } ? *\pdftrailerid{} * So the *first* call to \pdftrailerid (and \pdfinfo the same!) fails but the second call works out. It seems that there is a problem withthe caatcode of the { which only gets set after the error handler is entered. That is current TeX Live source (svn) build. All the best Norbert (please cc, not on the list) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREINING, Norbert http://www.preining.info JAIST, Japan TeX Live & Debian Developer GPG: 0x860CDC13 fp: F7D8 A928 26E3 16A1 9FA0 ACF0 6CAC A448 860C DC13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
