i get the picture... thx for the info. ( esp. for pointing out that a different editor might drop this object; sth i hadn't really considered )
btw : switched to the latest version of the 'maintain' branch, but the way the custom config xml is processed seems to differ from the latest distribution version. any helpful hints on this one? thx in advance. greetz, ald -----Original Message----- From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: maandag 23 juni 2003 11:19 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Embedding FOP, PDF Encryption & Custom fonts What kind of signature/verification? A cryptographic signature inside the PDF to authenticate the generator of the PDF? This is already standardized by Adobe. PDF is designed to be extensible. Therefore it is perfectly valid to add custom streams/objects to the PDF. But you must be prepared that a PDF editor may drop the object if it saves the PDF again. And of course, you need to provide a way to support your proprietary extension. Better stick to standards.
