Description

As we all know, PDF files are a structural marvel. There are many ways of constructing a file while still maintaining the same visual result. This is a blessing, but also a curse. This variety has to be accounted for if you want to traverse PDF files consistently and without inconveniencing your end users with error messages.

We’ll discuss both drafts: how they approach the task, what the current status is, and we’ll even see them in action through some rough prototyping!
