The octavo class is a modification of the standard LaTeX book class.
Its purpose is to typeset books following classical design and
layout principles, with the express intention of encouraging the
making of beautiful books by anyone with access to a good printer
and with an inclination towards venerable crafts, e.g., bookbinding.
The octavo class differs from the book class by implementing many
of the proposals and insights of respected experts, especially Jan
Tschichold and Hugh Williamson.
The documentation discusses methods to organise and print out any
text into signatures, which can then be gathered, folded and sewn
into a book.
Changes:
* v1.0e
\LL@pagesize@specials: Patch from Toby Thurston for XeLaTeX. (RN)
* v1.0d
General: Options "twopart/notwopart" suggested by Luis Rivera.
No more "final" in \ExecuteOptions suggested by Axel Berger (RN).
- New text extractor.
- Added the pdftohtml tool.
- Added the pdftopng tool.
- New trapezoid-based rasterizer core (for performance).
- Generate appearance streams for Line, PolyLine, and Polygon
annotations.
- Added the closeWindowOrQuit command, and changed the default binding
for ctrl-W from closeWindow to closeWindowOrQuit.
- Implemented the new AES-256 mode (R=6, Acrobat X).
- Add an object cache.
- Added a small cache for object streams.
- Modify PSOutputDev to use LZW compression instead of RLE, with a
fallback to RLE if the "psLZW no" setting is given.
- Pdfinfo now prints page rotation info.
- Modified ImageOutputDev, used by pdfimages, to output the masks and
soft masks used when drawing images.
- Remove non-printable characters from error output, just in case they
might cause problems for the terminal program.
- Added initial support for Code3of9 bar codes in XFA forms.
- Added the mapExtTrueTypeFontsViaUnicode xpdfrc command.
- Apply stroke adjustment to rectangular images and clipping regions (in
addition to strokes and fills).
- Decode JPEG 2000 images at less than full resolution if the full res
image isn't needed (i.e., if the raw image is higher resolution than
the output).
- Implemented knockout groups.
- Removed t1lib support.
- Added support for images with 16-bit components.
- Rewrote the Dict class to use a hash table; as a side effect, this
handles dictionaries with multiple definitions for a key, which are
in violation of the spec, but Acrobat appears to handle.
- The transformed line width computation -- used to implement the
minLineWidth setting, and the hairline threshold in monochrome mode --
was incorrect.
- Pdftops was not correctly handling the case where it couldn't find
a 16-bit font -- this led to crashes and/or invalid PostScript.
- A bug in FlateStream::getBlock() was causing problems with narrow
images.
- Use the correct _WIN32 define instead of WIN32.
- Use copy-on-write for the clip path in SplashState (when doing gsave),
for performance.
- Added a Solaris-specific entry to the ghostscript font search path.
- SplashState was initializing line width to 0 instead of 1.
- Abort processing on a content stream after getting 500 errors
(undefined operator, wrong number of args) -- this avoids very long
processing time for malicious PDF files using bogus RLE encoded
content streams.
- Added the psUseCropBoxAsPage xpdfrc option; "pdftops -pagecrop" now
sets psUseCropBoxAsPage; "pdftops -pagecrop -paper match" now uses
the CropBox as the page size.
- Re-architected the AcroForm support code into a separate AcroForm
module.
- Fixed the handling of overprinting/transparency interaction, using
the CompatibleOverprint blend mode.
- The TIFF predictor code for the 1-bit-per-pixel case was broken.
- For triangle and patch mesh shadings (types 4-7) with color functions,
interpolate the function parameter not the color.
- Check the fontFile/fontDir commands before (instead of after) doing
Base-14 substitution in PS output.
- Correctly handle non-embedded TrueType fonts that have an Identity
ToUnicode mapping (display and PS output were failing).
- Added support for XFA form rendering, including an "enableXFA" xpdfrc
setting.
- Handle PFB Type 1 fonts when generating PostScript output.
- Unwind any extraneous saved graphics state at the end of the page
(before drawing annotations).
- Added some integer overflow checks in the GString class.
- Handle 16-bit components in JPEG 2000 images.
- ActualText spans can end without a valid font, in which case
TextPage::beginWord was crashing.
- The Domain entry in function shadings wasn't being parsed correctly.
- Fixed a bug in the JPEG decoder - successive approximation
(progressive mode) coefficients weren't being handled correctly.
- Added a better infinite loop test to the xref parser.
- When generating PostScript, merge reused TrueType fonts (if their
code-to-GID mappings are the same).
- Tweak the Gouraud triangle shaded fill code to end the recursive
splitting if the triangles get sufficiently small.
- Do bilinear interpolation when upsampling images.
- When skipping extraneous image data from an inline image, look for
EI<whitespace> instead of just EI.
- When writing to stdout on Windows, pdftoppm now sets the file mode to
binary. [Thanks to Robert Frunzke.]
- Accept strings as well as names for the BaseFont entry in font
objects.
- Removed the TEXTOUT_WORD_LIST config option (with the new text
extractor, this is always enabled).
- Fixed a bug in the JBIG2 decoder (the TPGD context for template #3 in
readGenericBitmap was incorrect).
- Rewrote the PostScriptFunction code for performance.
- Handle 8-bit OpenType CFF fonts that are missing required tables in
the OpenType wrapper.
- Handle tiling patterns with reversed coordinates in their bounding
boxes.
- Added support for 64-bit file offsets, i.e., PDF files larger than
2GB.
- Optimize the code that rasterizes pattern-filled image masks.
- Added support for Mac OS X system fonts (Base-14 only).
- The backdrop color in luminosity-type soft mask groups was not being
handled correctly.
- Modified behavior of "pdftops -paper match -duplex ..." - it will now
duplex consecutive same-sized pages.
- Tweak the handling of degenerate fills ('moveto lineto fill') to
match Adobe.
- Don't honor the OPM=1 setting with ICCBased CMYK color spaces.
- Whole-word searches were treating certain punctuation (Unicode number
separators and terminators) as part of the word, e.g., searching for
"foo" would not match "foo,".
- Use the TextString class everywhere it makes sense.
- Removed the unnecessary segment sort in Splash (performance
optimization).
- Handle hyperlinks that use Widget-type annotations.
- Fix up the integer overflow checks to avoid issues with clever
compilers. [Thanks to Nickolai Zeldovich.]
- Correctly handle streams with missing Length entries in damaged PDF
files.
- Added a compile-time option (LOAD_FONTS_FROM_MEM) to load fonts from
memory rather than temporary files on disk.
- Added the psRasterSliceSize xpdfrc option.
- Fixed a case in the JPEG 2000 arithmetic decoder where extra data is
present in packet i, and needs to be saved for use in packet i+1.
- Fixed a bug in the JPEG 2000 decoder related to images with fewer than
8 bits per component.
- Handle the case in PSOutputDev where slice size overflows a 32-bit
integer.
- Add (partial) support for TrueType cmap format 2.
- Always pass FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP to FreeType -- bitmaps apparently fail
with rotated characters.
- Support fonts specified in ExtGState dictionaries.
- Annotations with empty Border arrays should not draw a border.
- Fix the CMap parser to handle large CID ranges.
- Check for Type 3 CharProcs that call q or Q before the d0/d1 operator,
and treat them as uncacheable.
- Invert the selection color when starting in reverse video mode.
- Device{Gray,RGB,CMYK} cannot be mapped via a resource dict.
- Changed the PS output for masked images (explicit and color key
masking): use a plain old clip path instead of rectclip to avoid
array overflows.
- Check the StemSnapH/V arrays when converting Type 1C fonts to Type 1 -
if there are any duplicate or out-of-order values, skip that
StemSnapH/V array.
- Added the psMinLineWidth xpdfrc setting.
- Fix an obscure issue in converting TrueType fonts to Type 42, related
to empty glyph descriptions (12 zero bytes).
- Pdftops now reports an error if there were any I/O errors writing to
the PS output file.
- Fix vertical text (CJK fonts) in PS output -- offset the character
origin correctly.
- Increased the number of digits used by pdfimages for the image number
from three to four.
- Handle right-to-left (e.g., Arabic) ligatures correctly in the text
extractor.
- Added the -loc and -locPS options to pdffonts.
- Extend the object parser recursion limit to cover Stream::addFilters()
/ Stream::makeFilters() - to avoid another possibility of stack
overflow.
- Disable FreeType autohinting, because it can fail badly with font
subsets that use invalid glyph names -- except in the case of Type 1
fonts, which look much better with light autohinting.
- Modified the rasterizer pipeline functions to process a scan line at a
time (for performance).
- Removed VMS build support (it hasn't been updated in ages).
- Removed pdftotext's '-htmlmeta' option (use pdftohtml instead).
- PSOutputDev's font/form setup code, and pdffonts, were not scanning
soft mask groups in ExtGState dictionaries.
- Invalid DCT input (e.g., from a damaged PDF file) could overflow the
dctClip array.
- When upsampling an image mask or image with a large resulting image
size, do it in stream mode instead of prescaling the whole image
(to avoid running out of memory).
- Added infinite loop detection to pdffonts.

The Common UNIX Printing System provides a portable printing layer for
UNIX operating systems. It has been developed by Easy Software Products
to promote a standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and users.
CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces.
CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IETF-IPP) as the basis for
managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon (LPD, RFC1179)
and AppSocket protocols are also supported with reduced functionality.
CUPS adds network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description
("PPD")-based printing options to support real world applications under
UNIX.
This package contains the older 1.5 series, before Apple stopped
maintaining the filters.
This is a bugfix release: dozens of bugs have been found and
exterminated!
A typo resulting in a potential stack overflow that could corrupt
files when saving edits to a PDF has been fixed. Another bug which
caused a significant slowdown has also been fixed.
We strongly recommend that you upgrade â especially if you are
using version 1.4.
into the ipp_attribute_t structure. Ultimately, it should be updated to
use the new (with CUPS 1.7?) accessors, however, this gets it building
before the 2014Q2 branch.
