Dear Developers and All,

when I create a PDF dictionary with a small number

local mydict = lpdf.dictionary { TT = 0.000000000000000001 }
lpdf.flushobject(mydict)

I get in PDF

<< /TT 1e-18 >>

that confuses the Adobe Reader (if dictionary is used).

As far as I can investigate, lpdf.flushobject(mydict) calls
pdf.immediateobj(tostring(mydict)) and tostring does the actual damage
by introducing scientific notation.

yes, tostring is not the most clever one on that

What is the correct way to deal with the problem?

I'll use a different serializer. In next beta
