[FIXES]
- Test for undef streams instead of truth, to allow streams like '' or '0'
Thanks to Thorsten Schwander for the patch
- Failed to parse PDF 1.5 cross reference streams where a
1024-byte boundary happened to fall between "endstream" and
"endobj" do to a logic error.
Thanks to Thorsten Schwander for the report and fix suggestion
1.56 13 Dec 2011
[FIXES]
- Workaround for corrupt PDFs that have 'n' records in their index that point to byte zero
of the file. Silently treat those as 'f' records. Yet another case of Acrobat supporting
broken PDFs, so the rest of us have to support them too...
Thanks to Mark Hunnibell for a sample PDF that demonstrated the problem

to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
Changelog:
1.52 02 Oct 2008
[FIXES]
- Better handling of failures during filter loading
(rlane10 via http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/10/msg2361238.html)
1.51 28 Sep 2008
[FIXES]
- Support PDFs with 24-bit offsets in the xref stream (PDF v1.5 only)
(thanks to Dan Richman for reporting the problem and providing an example)
1.50 20 Sep 2008
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Support for reading PDF 1.5 compressed object streams and cross reference streams.
(we cannot write this style, but we can append to it)
[FIXES]
- Decompression of PNG-filtered streams was totally broken.
- Deleting pages now also deletes back references from annotations on that page.
- cleanse() now removes PieceInfo data. I have no idea what
PieceInfo does, but it had a whole bunch of page back links
that broke page deletion.

[FIXES]
- Permit comments after the %%EOF, like Adobe Reader does. Thanks to
Malcolm Cook for pointing out the incompatibility.
took maintainership
ChangeLog:
1.20 26 Jun 2008
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Support for Type 2 encryption (just reading, not writing)
- Support for reading PDFs where the owner and user passwords
are different
- Improvement to performance of node traversal, inspired by
RT #35555 (credit Eric Hall and his anonymous employee).
1.13 23 Apr 2008
[FIXES]
- setpdfbackground.pl computed RGB values incorrectly. Thanks to
Andrew Cadman for finding the bug and suggesting a fix
1.12 27 Nov 2007
[FIXES]
- I just realized that CAM::PDF::Renderer::Text was useless
because it just printed to STDOUT. Fixed to offer a
toString() method instead. Fuse::PDF wants this feature.
- Fixed a typo in the Synopsis of CAM::PDF::Content
1.11 20 Nov 2007
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- added previousRevision() and allRevisions() [invented in Fuse::PDF]
[INTERNALS]
- Compliance with Perl::Critic v1.080
Packages Collection.
The Perl 5 module CAM::PDF reads and writes any document that
conforms to the PDF specification.
Other Perl modules implementing the PDF specification are optimized
for programatically creating new PDF documents from scratch. On
the contrary, CAM::PDF is optimized for reading and manipulating
existing PDF documents.
