IP Review: 

Review of Adobe's new PDF/is License agreement.  Change from "IPPFax" to
"PDF/is", clarified "PWG" means and applies to candidate standard as
well as full standard.

 

Need HP permission to publish ICC grayscale profile.  (Gray gama 2.2 =
sRBG with only one channel).  Full PDF requires these to be imbedded,
however, a PDF/is only renderer could ignore the profiles because they
are the only ones allowed and therefore already known.

 

Other issues:

PDF/a - Trying to align with the requirements for PDF/a and make changes
when able.  (Federal archiving standard)  Major differences: interpolate
images(we require, they prohibit), no digital signatures.

 

Transparent text: already added.  Text is not rendered but can used be
used for searching or for cut&paste. Optional for both consumer and
producer.  Consumer can ignore them.

 

What should a consumer do if a MUST in PDF/is is not followed.  Warn the
consumering user, attempt to find the next page and continue.  In IPPFax
ippget notifications, can we send an indication that the page didn't
render properly?

 

PDF/is Walkthrough

 

DCT=JPEG - wherever there is a reference to DCT add (JPEG) so that Ira
can remember what DCT means.

 

Changes for PDF/a

Page tree must be balanced: no one node can have more than 12 children.

Crop box is the same as media box.  (Add a note to this effect)

Content operators - Explain what they mean (DP and CM)

 

IPPFax:  

 

Standard incryption is prohibited in IPPFax.  (optional in PDF/is  --
Should PDF/is also prohibit?).  

 

Receiver MUST only support application/PDF in document-format-supported
and document-format.  

 

IPPFax will reference document-format-version-supported and
document-format-version from the document-object specification and will
allow any PDF type versions and REQUIRE PDF/is v1.0.

 

Remove all references (including columns) to "coloring".

 

Digital-signature-supported and digital-signature will be moved the
document-object specification and IPPFax will reference that spec.

 

All administrative operations, including the set-ops and
enable-printer/disable-printer will be allowed but only if TLS has
authenticated the user and the user has rights to perform them.
