TODO list

A list of things to do to make pdf4py better. A priority is associated to each point and can assume the value LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH.

  • [MEDIUM] (IN PROGRESS) Code and documentation cleanup.
  • [MEDIUM] (IN PROGRESS) To collect more PDFs for testing purposes.
  • [MEDIUM] (TO DO) To support File specifications (Section 7.11 of the Standard).
  • [LOW] (TO DO) To implement LZW decoding scheme (but it is not really necessary since it is deprecated).
  • [LOW] (TO DO) To implement Public Key security handlers.
  • [HIGH] (IN PROGRESS) To implement the module pdf4py.document that defines the class Document, a high level abstraction of the PDF file that understands and provides an interface to the document structure (sections 7.7 to 7.10: pages, content streams, etc ..). Currently I am experimenting as I study those sections in depth.
  • [HIGH] (TO DO) To implement tests for some predictors used in FlateDecode filter.
  • [MEDIUM] (TO DO) To analyze performances and to compare them with other libraries.
  • [LOW] (TO DO) To go through the 2.0 standard and see if there are major changes.
  • [MEDIUM] (TO DO) Better handling of Compressed Object Streams.
