Changes for version 2.020 - 2013-01-20
- Give a more informative error message when a PDF file using a cross-reference stream is encountered. The Known Issues section of the documentation includes pointers on how to add support in case someone else can get to this before I do.
- Text using TrueType fonts is now searchable again. In version 0.61, an undocumented -unicodemap option was added to nearly all of the font resource methods, which only included a ToUnicode CMap if it was set (and it's required in order for PDF readers to be able to identify individual characters if BaseEncoding isn't present, which it isn't for TrueType fonts).
- I've left the -unicodemap option in place, and it's still undocumented (except here), but it's now on by default. Call $pdf->ttfont($fontfile, -unicodemap => 0) if you want to disable it for performance or file size reasons.
- Add a note to the stringify method's documentation saying that it's a destructive operation.
- The various filter types have their own classes in the PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::Filter namespace now, rather than having all of the packages in Filter.pm.
- To facilitate testing and ensure that identically-generated PDFs have identical output in Perl 5.17.5 or later, PDF dictionary keys are now sorted during output.
