Xref Streams

[Primate]

What is the status on support for xref/iref streams?  When I try to use a PdfReader to parse a acrobat 7/8 dynamic pdf I get a message about "Cannot handle iref streams".  There is an encouraging comment in the code ( TODO: We have all code to handle them -> just do it ).  Is there any timeline on this?  I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

Is the current codebase up on a public SCM?  Looks like the sf.net CVS repository was closed out.

TIA

Hi! 

We invite you to visit the PDFsharp support forum:

But xref/iref streams are AFAIK not yet implemented.

BTW: TIA = thanks in advance ...

is there any chance to be implemented in the near future?
I see in your code this
:
"
// Is it an xref stream?
      if (symbol == Symbol.Integer)
        throw new PdfReaderException(PSSR.CannotHandleXRefStreams);
      // TODO: We have all code to handle them -> just do it
"

what does it mean?

Also can you please tell me if pdfSharp offers the possibility to determine whether an object is visible or not ( not necesary regarding the layer concept).
For example one big image overrides one small image, or also might be on top. How do i know wich one is visible?

Thank you,

alin iacob.
