How Should an OS X Drawing Programs Store Custom Data in its PDF PasteBoard Flavor?

A little history. In the days when the pre-eminent Mac vectored clipboard flavor was PICT, a program could insert its own data into the PICT. The PICT could be pasted into another application. At some later date, the same drawing could be selected and put on the clipboard, and pasted back into the originating program. The originating pro...

What's the fastest .Net PDF library to dump a bunch of bitmaps to PDF?

I have around 10 System.Drawing.Bitmap elements, which I want to dump to PDF. When combining them to a single bitmap, and then writing this to PNG, this takes me about 150 ms.

FPDI, how to remove automatic page counter

I'm using FPDI together with TCPDF to add a page to a already existing PDF-file. This works great, but I have one problem.

This problem only ...

Is there a reliable way to determine if a PDF was generated from a Powerpoint file?

Like the title says. Reason I ask is that we're converting PDFs to formatted ASCII text (using pdftotext) and only want to display the ones that look reasonably sane. PPT files tend to have text over images, diagonal text and others things that don't translate to ASCII very well, so we'd like to filter them out if we can. ...
