Forgive my ignorance, but can someone explain the argument for limiting the number of Release Candidates? If testing needs to be done, why not create snapshots that could be used for testing more widely. Since I don't currently use hyphenation, I don't want to wait for the hyphenation patterns to

As I thought, not so easy. To do that in maintenance branch I would have to backport a lot of changes I did in the PDF library. Problems: - No access to the PDFDocument from the spot where filters are applied to find out if encryption is active. - The application of encryption is pretty much

Jeremias, From my understanding of the spec, encryption MUST be the last step. Encryption will not make the size grow, but it does negate any benefit that ASCII85 or ASCIIHEX filters provide and THEY do make the file larger. In a nutshell, I would disable the ASCII85 or ASCIIHEX filters, if
