BDF (bitmapped fonts) now working properly, provided you have a good
.bdf file as your starting point. They're ugly enough not to be all
that useful, but might be used to decorative effect in chapter titles
and major headings (not suitable for body text!).
lib/PDF/Builder/Docs.pm, lib/PDF/Builder/Resource/CIDFont/TrueType.pm
Improve documentation of ttfont's -nosubset and -noembed flags.
lib/PDF/Builder.pm, lib/PDF/Builder/Docs.pm,
lib/PDF/Builder/Resource/Font/Postscript.pm
[RT 130038] Improve documentation for putting an image on the page,
pointing to other sources of information. There are undoubtedly many
other "how to do" tasks that need upgraded documentation, and we will
attend to them over time. In the meantime, be sure to check out the
examples/ Perl programs for numerous examples of how to use calls, and
even the t-tests in t/ might prove useful as examples.

[RT 130040] Confirm that the "synfont" method to modify a font does not
seem to work with "CJK" fonts (created by the "cjkfont" method), due to
internal font file format differences. Also add "Ipsum Lorem" sample
text to 021_psfonts output.
docs/buildDoc.pl, lib/PDF/Builder.pm, lib/PDF/Builder/Content.pm-

Improvement to documentation generation utility to handle pod2html
upgrade to specify URLs with targets (#name), and update some POD that
refers to specific targets on a page. It's possible that if you have an
earlier Perl level, this might not work properly.
lib/PDF/Builder/Resource/CIDFont/TrueType/FontFile.pm,
lib/PDF/Builder/Docs.pm, examples/022_truefonts
[RT 130041] OTF and TTF "CFF" files were getting the font file embedded
in them (by ttfont method), even though there was no link to use that
large stream, when -noembed=>1. This has been fixed. Also, the
documentation (Docs.pm) has been upgraded to clarify when and how font
file embedding is done (especially that it's NOT done for cjkfont). The
TrueType example has had a flag added to specify embedding control.
lib/PDF/Builder/Resource/BaseFont.pm-CIDFont.pm-UniFont.pm [RT 130074]
clarify remaining uses of is_utf8() call that it's utf8::is_utf8().

[RT 130039] add "get" capability to both global and page bounding box
calls, obsoleting the get* calls for the page. $pdf->mediabox() will
return the global media box, $page->mediabox() will return the current
page's media box, and so on for bleed, crop, trim, and art boxes.

[GH 101] permit out-of-spec PDF structures that were formerly fatal
errors. -diags flag to enable reporting of suspicious structures,
otherwise silent. There are many PDFs "in the wild" that do not conform
to Adobe PDF standards, yet many Readers are happy to accept them.
docs/buildDoc.pl output module (.pm or .pod) being processed, so user won't
be worried about how long it's taking.

per PDF::API2 changes, code style cleanup (including some minor changes
to outobjdeep(), such as removing %options), and some bug fixes not
already in PDF::Builder. Also some Perl Critic cleanup and removal of
unused routines.

no longer removed). Some outobjdeep() calls removed, others simplified.
lib/PDF/Builder/Resource/CIDFonts/CMap/*.cmap finish work on [RT 128674]
by updating .cmap files to latest. This is difficult because Adobe
provides poor documentation, moved to GitHub a couple years back and
did not provide good snapshots of previous releases (to see exactly what
changed over time), and provides differing levels of up-to-dateness
depending on when someone last updated on GitHub (including older
supplements!). It's not clear exactly what Adobe version the existing
(older) PDF::Builder .cmap files correspond to. In some cases, it appears
that they were incomplete at the claimed supplement level. It's not
possible to map the cid2code.txt files to PDF::Builder .cmap files in an
automated manner because it's not clear which Unicode is to be used in
the g2u array when multiple Unicode codepoints map to a given CID. There
are some inconsistencies of what CIDs are defined, between the Adobe
documentation, what's in the cid2code.txt files, and what's available in
Unicode. Suggestions on how to automate cid2code.txt usage would be
appreciated. Anyway, this is my best attempt, and corrections accepted!
tools/1_pc.pl, 2_t-tests.pl clean up minor bugs, improve diagnostics.
