    IP Review:

    Review of Adobe's new PDF/is License agreement. Change from "IPPFax" to
    "PDF/is", clarified "PWG" means and applies to candidate standard as
    well as full standard.

     

    Need HP permission to publish ICC grayscale profile. (Gray gama 2.2 =
    sRBG with only one channel). Full PDF requires these to be imbedded,
    however, a PDF/is only renderer could ignore the profiles because they
    are the only ones allowed and therefore already known.

     

    Other issues:

    PDF/a - Trying to align with the requirements for PDF/a and make changes
    when able. (Federal archiving standard) Major differences: interpolate
    images(we require, they prohibit), no digital signatures.

     

    Transparent text: already added. Text is not rendered but can used be
    used for searching or for cut&paste. Optional for both consumer and
    producer. Consumer can ignore them.

     

    What should a consumer do if a MUST in PDF/is is not followed. Warn the
    consumering user, attempt to find the next page and continue. In IPPFax
    ippget notifications, can we send an indication that the page didn't
    render properly?

     

    PDF/is Walkthrough

     

    DCT=JPEG - wherever there is a reference to DCT add (JPEG) so that Ira
    can remember what DCT means.

     

    Changes for PDF/a

    Page tree must be balanced: no one node can have more than 12 children.

    Crop box is the same as media box. (Add a note to this effect)

    Content operators - Explain what they mean (DP and CM)

     

    IPPFax:

     

    Standard incryption is prohibited in IPPFax. (optional in PDF/is --
    Should PDF/is also prohibit?).

     

    Receiver MUST only support application/PDF in document-format-supported
    and document-format.

     

    IPPFax will reference document-format-version-supported and
    document-format-version from the document-object specification and will
    allow any PDF type versions and REQUIRE PDF/is v1.0.

     

    Remove all references (including columns) to "coloring".

     

    Digital-signature-supported and digital-signature will be moved the
    document-object specification and IPPFax will reference that spec.

     

    All administrative operations, including the set-ops and
    enable-printer/disable-printer will be allowed but only if TLS has
    authenticated the user and the user has rights to perform them.
