New submission from Soren Solari: According to the PDF Spec http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html section 7.4.3, The ascii85decode function only utilizes ~> as an EOD 2byte character, there is no mention of leading <~. Therefore using the base64.a85decode(data, adobe=True) does not work on valid data coming from a pdf because that data may not have a leading <~.
Solution: do not require leading <~ for adobe=True. ---------- messages: 256745 nosy: Soren Solari priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: base64.a85decode adobe flag incorrectly utilizes <~ as a marker causing error type: behavior versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25913> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
