i wonder what's special with particularily these numbers (other than they have their 7th bit set)? Is it a special check pattern? The PDF reference doesn't specify them in detail.
11100100 11110000 11101101 11111000
If i subtract 128, i get "dpmx". Any secret message? :-)
I copied them from dvipdfmx. I didn't know the hidden message. Sorry for that. Please choose the other suitable numbers. best regards, Akira

don't mind (still ROTFL) i didn't guess at all what the "message" of "dpmx" would be. But maybe then we can use one of these: p 240 11110000 t 244 11110100 e 229 11100101 x 248 11111000 p 240 11110000 T 212 11010100 e 229 11100101 X 216 11011000 P 208 11010000 T 212 11010100 e 229 11100101 X 216 11011000 P 208 11010000 T 212 11010100 E 197 11000101 X 216 11011000 Maybe the last one 208, 212, 197, 216 is the favorite as this is the string registered by Hans with Adobe? Thanh, pick your choice :-) And we will need a special trick to print the title page of the pdftex manual then :-) Regards, Hartmut

seems also the best choice to me :)

looks like some primitive line \pdfbinaryheader is needed :) Regards, Thanh
