StructTest.java - pdf tagging
Changes in itext-paulo-155 (2005-10-19) - added support for tagged PDFs. The high level objects don't generate tags yet, but it's possible to create a fully legal tagged PDF using PdfContentByte. - Image.skip() didn't check for EOF. - Image.toUrl() didn't escape the filename chars. - in AcroFields lists couldn't be set by the export value - fixed the image alignment in ColumnText.addElement() - PdfReader made the wrong assumption that the trailer word was always followed by '\n'. - PdfReader checks for /Content null. - Identity-H fonts with subset==false will include all the font. - possible to create an empty PdfAnnotation. - case insensitive font search in FontFactory and a much better font family pairing. - all the cvs changes. See the cvs logs for more information.

extract_attachments.java - extract file attachments to a directory
Changes in itext-paulo-154 (2005-05-04) - CCITTG4Encoder.java has a bug somewhere that for some patterns causes an out of memory exception. The bug is not corrected but an exception is thrown early on and the JVM is not brought down. - revised hyphenation. The XML FOP hyphenation patterns are now used directly. I've included all the patterns in itext-hyph-xml.jar but some of them may be GPL or not usable for commercial purposes so, read the licenses and decide what to keep. - added a new constructor PdfReader(RandomAccessFileOrArray raf, byte ownerPassword[]). Contrary to the other constructors only the xref is read into memory. The reader is said to be working in "partial" mode as only parts of the pdf are read as needed. The memory needs can be tiny. - fixed a bug in ColumnText with columns with zero width. - added simple background image support in signatures. There was a contribution for this but the implemented solution is more generic and puts the image in the n2 layer instead of the n0 layer as recommended for Acrobat 6 and later. - added print scaling, a new viewer preference, in PdfWriter. - added a workaround for symbolic true type fonts that have incorrect cmaps.
