    Preface

    The Portable Document Format (PDF) is the way in which most documents are produced for distribution, collaboration, and archiving worldwide. It has been standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and by governments in over 75 countries as their format of choice for their documentation. The printing industry has required the use of PDF for any professional printing job. With billions of publicly available documents and an untold number of documents living in private repositories, no other file format has the wide reach and ubiquity that PDF does.

    However, even with those billions of documents in circulation, the PDF format remains poorly understood by users and developers alike due to there being a dearth of documentation beyond ISO 32000-1, the PDF standard itself. And while the standard is an excellent technical document, its size, complexity, and dry style make it unapproachable for many.

    The goal of this book is to provide an approachable reference to PDF. It covers key topics from the standard in a way that will enable the technically minded to understand what is inside a PDF. For those simply needing to examine the internals of a PDF to diagnose problems, you will find the tools you need here, and those who want to construct their own valid and well-formed documents will find out how to do so.

    Who Should Read This Book

    While this book goes into some fairly deep technical topics, Ive tried to present them in such a way that any technically minded individual should find the material approachable and understandable.

    This book is suitable for:

    • Users of PDF software, such as Adobe Acrobat, who want to understand what is going on under the hood of the various features in those products (features like inserting and deleting pages or converting images).

    • Industry professionals in areas such as electronic publishing and printing who want to better understand PDF in order to improve their systems, or who need to diagnose issues in their PDF processing.

    • Programmers writing code to read, edit, or create PDF files.

    Organization of Content

    We begin by looking at the various objects that make up a PDF file and how they are combined together into a cohesive whole.

    In this chapter we look at the core aspect of PDFits imaging model. We learn how to create a page and draw some graphics on it.

    Continuing on from our discussion of the core imaging model, in this chapter we explore how to incorporate raster images into your PDF content.

    Next, we learn how to incorporate the last of the common types of PDF contenttext. Of course, a discussion of text in PDF wouldnt be complete without an understanding of fonts and glyphs.

    PDF isnt just about static content. This chapter will introduce various ways in which a PDF can gain interactivity, specifically around enabling navigation within and between documents.

    This chapter explores the special objects that are annotations , which are drawn on top of the regular content to enable everything from interactive links to 3D to video and audio.

    Next, we look at how interactive forms are provided for in the PDF language.

    This chapter demonstrates how a PDF can be used in a way similar to a ZIP archive by embedding files inside of it.

    This chapter explains how video and audio content can be referenced in or embedded into a PDF for playing as part of rich content.

    This chapter introduces optional content, which only appears at certain times, such as on the screen but not when printed or only for certain users.

    This chapter looks at how to add semantic richness to your content by tagging it with HTML-like structures such as paragraphs and tables.

    This chapter explores the various ways in which metadata can be incorporated into a PDF file, from the simplest document level strings to rich XML attached to individual objects.

    Finally, this chapter introduces the various open international standards based on PDF, including the full PDF standard itself (ISO 32000-1), the various subsets (such as PDF/A and PDF/X), as well as related work (such as PAdES).
