Hi, please consider the following issues (applies to pdfTeX manual released at 2005-04-27, 15:50). 1. Page 18, \pdfhorigin description: "use TeX's own \horigin primitive" -- imho should be \hoffset instead of \horigin ;) 2. Page 18, \pdfpagewidth description: "If the value is not given..." -- I'd rather say "If the value is set to 0pt". If one say \let\pdfpagewidth\relax, while shipping out the page pdfTeX will take the last relevant value, not the formula shown in the manual. 3. Page 19, \pdfinfo description: "If a key is used more that once, the first appearance will be used" -- Sugestion; one may think, that pdfTeX reads keys provided to \pdfinfo (and other primtives that takes a literal pdf text as a parameters) and replaces the values if doubled. Perhaps it should be mentioned, that no interpretation is made here. Moreover, it seems that in Acrobat the SECOND entry takes a place... 4. Page 24, \pdfobj description: "When <object type spec> is not given, a dictionary object is created" -- doesn't seem to be true. Isn't that an old behaviour? 5. Page 25, \pdfpagesattr example: \pdfpagesattr{/Rotate 90 /MediaBox [0 0 612 792]} One may be confused, since MediaBox setup will never take an effect if provided in this way. Each page has always own MediaBox that overrides \pdfpagesattr. CropBox could be better I think. 6. Page 25, \pdfpageref description: Extra backalshes: "\\pdfpageref5 expands to number \18." 7. Page 25, \pdfxform description: The last sentence in this paragraph -- as in point 3; maybe it should be mentioned that it may depend on the viewer. Entries provided by the user doesn't seem to take a priority over later ones in Acrobat. It applies to Ghostsript however. The code such as \setbox0\hbox{Aqq} \pdfxform attr {/BBox [0 0 10 10]}0 \pdfrefxform\pdflastxform outputs 1 0 obj << /Type /XObject /Subtype /Form /BBox [0 0 10 10] /BBox [0 0 17.988 8.745] /FormType 1 /Matrix [1 0 0 1 0 0] /Resources 9 0 R /Length 67 /Filter /FlateDecode
and this is interpreted in different ways, depending on the viewer. I like the rest very much! BTW, how manual updates are organised? Are the sources in CVS or one from time to time send an updates to sarovar? Best regards, -- Pawe/l Jackowski P.Jackowski@gust.org.pl
