Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Taco Hoekwater (taco) Assigned to: Taco Hoekwater (taco) Summary: Pdf "convert" primitives bug

Initial Comment: The problem: When tex calls `conv_toks()' to execute `convert' commands, a string may already be being built. A call to scan_toks (pdf_scan_ext_toks) at that moment will incorporate that partial string to the argument of the `convert' primitive, and erase it from the output. Example code: \message{\pdfmdfivesum{knuth}} \input knuth\pdfmdfivesum{} \bye Affected primitives: \pdfescapestring \pdfescapename \pdfescapehex \pdfunescapehex \pdffilemoddate \pdffilesize \pdffiledump \pdfmdfivesum \pdfstrcmp The needed fix: Somewhen before calling scan_pdf_ext_toks, you have to store the partial string as a true tex string, then its `partialness' has to be restored sometime later before leaving conv_toks(). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2006-10-21 15:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 A patch for this will be included in the next version (1.40). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Taco Hoekwater (taco) Date: 2006-10-04 16:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1608 patch against pdftex.web from 20060928 attached. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Taco Hoekwater (taco) Date: 2006-09-28 18:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1608 sorry, it is a bug, of course ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=609&group_id=106
