Thus \pdflastescaped* are not needed anymore. I could remove the dependency on a limited buffer by copying the destination strings directly in the string pool above the source string. Also the patch adds the fixes of bug 369. Fourth I add \pdfescapehex and \pdfunescapehex that implements encoding and decoding for hexadecimal strings: * Strings can also be given as hex strings in angle brackets. * Safe method to store and read string data to auxiliary files without worrying about catcodes, unmachted curly braces, ... * Help in handling UTF-8/Unicode or other hex coding stuff. Patch is applied by patch ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1276 Hello, the first patch missed the changes in pdftex.defines. Now the patch is reorganized: Patched files: * utils.c main part of the fix, especially function convertStringToPDFName(). * pdftoepdf.cc, epdf.h, ptexlib.h because of changed signature of convertStringToPDFString() * pdftex.defines adds new/deletes old entries of utils.c * pdfstrcmp.ch is added. * pdftex.mk, ../pdfetexdir/pdfetex.mk: addition of pdfstrcmp.ch Now the patch must be applied in scr/texk/web2c: patch -p0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=495&aid=371&group_id=106
