Are you saying that these keys will never appear in a PDF that makes it "out in 
the wild" (aka to the real world)?

A PDF containing an undefined first class key in a dictionary is technically 
not a compliant PDF, and may be flagged as such by a validator.  (for example, 
the PDF validator in Adobe Acrobat would flag it as such).

Additionally, sure.  If someone else also chose to break the rules and use a 
1st class key and you were both using them for something completely different – 
all hell could break lose.

Given that there is ZERO cost to registering the prefix.  I really don't 
understand your objection to just "doing the right thing"

This is just for our testing purposes.  Not for external use by anyone.

So in the absence of an already approved generic 'identifier' key for us to 
use, what are the drawbacks of us having a non-ISO approved key in our 
documents?
Collision with someone else's key causing plugin or some such to err when it 
hits our invalid use of their key?

Except for your not being allowed to use a first class key (aka a key w/o a 
prefix), yes.

So now go to 
<http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdfregistry_v3.pdf><http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdfregistry_v3.pdf%3E>,
 fill out the form and submit it.  Then you'll have your legal prefix.

To answer my own question (assume I'm on right track)...


Image doesn't represent an /XObject, but PDFTemplate does.  Doing:

pdfTemplate.getAdditional().put(new PdfName("myId"), new PdfString("image1"));

adds '/myId' to xobject's dictionary and I can now find the image stream by 
myId.

Is that the 'correct' way to tag an image?
