Hi,
This time the lmtx upload has a (for some maybe) interesting new
features: runtime pdf encryption.
context
--ownerpassword=foo
[--userpassword=bar]
[--permissions="see context --help --expert"]
One can also use the document banner line, like:
% ownerpassword="foo" userpassword="" permissions="print,extract,quality"
Now, this is a feature that relies on the viewer to deal properly with
it as we only support the not depricated method (why bother with the old
stuff).
acrobat : it took some effort (and trial and error) to make that one
happy but it seems to work ok
summatra : the one i use, it works ok in the latest greatest (i use
3.3.13418)
mutool : okay but sometimes with a warning (i have a workearound but
not enabled it because i consider it to be a bug)
qpdf : happy but check gives a permissions warning (understandable
as that is a real mess)
firefox : opens ok in the latest version (pdf.js)
chrome : can't handle the revision level we use (the rest is
depricated so i consider it a lack of feature for now)
edge : idem
okular : my (windows) version is too old
xpdf : not up to it yet
foxit : (i never use it, but tried ... it's code seems to be what is
used in chrome) doesn't work with this revision
I would be surprised if the native apple viewer works but I can't test that.
Given earlier pdf threads, I wanna check with Michal Vlasák what can be
improved.
Performance is okay, the luametatex manual takes 1% more runtime and
that's within the runtime measurement margin that I use. I didn't test
with external images yet but will do that so don't expection yet. It
will probably take a few months to reach a stable state anyway. (But ...
afaiks tikz pdf generation, which is also somewhat alien to context,
seems to work).
Hopefully I didn't mess up the unrelated code,
Hans
