maybe they should be pdf_find_font, pdf_add_local_link etc?
that would be more consistent with the func-naming convention,
I guess, but I'm in no position to decide this.
but I definitely think that it should be either underscore
everywhere, or just between the ext. prefix and the rest of
the name (i. e. pdf_findfont, pdf_injectasmanywordasyouseefit),
or whatever, but it should be consistent. that is, don't
mix pdf_open_file with pdf_add_locallink, because that only
confuse folks. and the consensus (at least I got it it's agreed
on) is pdf_add_local_link-like names.
