The xref
AST currently looks very similar to the physical structure with an implied sequence of object numbers.
xref
0 4
0000000000 65535 f
0000000009 00000 n
0000000074 00000 n
0000000120 00000 n
Produces an AST of:
[
{
:obj-count(4),
:obj-first-num(0);
:entries[[0, 65535, 0],
[9, 0, 1],
[74, 0, 1],
[120, 0, 1],
]
}
]
Issue is that the PDF layer has to rebuild this to another intermediate structure that is more logical
[
{
:obj-count(4),
:entries[[0, 65535, 0, 0],
[1, 0, 9, 1],
[2, 0, 74, 1],
[3, 0, 120, 1],
]
}
]
Proposal is to change AST to the second more logical form. This will help streamline and simplify PDF index loading
