Compatibility and Implementation Notes
encoded as UTF-8. Fortunately, UTF-8 encoding is very stylized and its
use can usually be recognized. A name that does not conform to UTF-8
encoding rules can instead be interpreted according to host platform en-
coding.
3.2.7, “Stream Objects”
6. When a stream specifies an external file, PDF 1.1 parsers ignore the file
and always use the bytes between
stream
and
endstream
.
7. Acrobat viewers accept the name
DP
as an abbreviation for the
DecodeParms
key in any stream dictionary. If both
DP
and
DecodeParms
entries are present,
DecodeParms
takes precedence.
3.2.9, “Indirect Objects”
8. Acrobat viewers require that the name object used as a key in a dictionary
entry be a direct object; an indirect object reference to a name is not ac-
cepted.
3.3, “Filters”
9. Acrobat viewers accept the abbreviated filter names shown in Table H.1 in
addition to the standard ones. Although the abbreviated names are
intended for use only in the context of inline images (see Section 4.8.6, “In-
line Images”), they are also accepted as filter names in any stream object.
