prototype implementation for pdf:dictionary + pdf:entry

The attached patch contains a working prototype implementation for PDF extension objects, as discussed on http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/ExtensionsForPdf.

There's still quite some unfinished business there, but it should suffice to give interested parties a starting-point (no idea when I'll be able to spend more time on this).

After applying the patch, Jiri Tyr's requirement can be met by adding:

<pdf:dictionary type="catalog" xmlns:pdf="http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/extensions/pdf">
  <pdf:entry name="PageMode">FullScreen</pdf:entry>
</pdf:dictionary>

basically anywhere in the document (I think; I've only tried specifying it as a descendant of fo:root).

Updated patch


Added minimal support for subdictionaries and boolean entries, so the following now becomes possible:

  <pdf:dictionary type="catalog" xmlns:pdf="http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/extensions/pdf">
    <pdf:entry name="PageMode" type="name">FullScreen</pdf:entry>
    <pdf:dictionary type="normal" name="ViewerPreferences">
      <pdf:entry name="HideToolbar" type="boolean">true</pdf:entry>
      <pdf:entry name="HideWindowUI" type="boolean">true</pdf:entry>
      <pdf:entry name="FitWindow" type="boolean">true</pdf:entry>
      <pdf:entry name="CenterWindow" type="boolean">true</pdf:entry>
      <pdf:entry name="NonFullScreenPageMode" type="name">UseThumbs</pdf:entry>
    </pdf:dictionary>
  </pdf:dictionary>

The patch in attach disables processing of the extension in case PDF/A or PDF/X conformance is active. Better safe than sorry. For users that really don't mind the risk, we could still add a config option to override this.

On another note, adding a quick-and-dirty implementation for simple PDF strings already allows adding some JavaScript as an OpenAction...

Most complete example I tested so far:

  <pdf:dictionary type="catalog" xmlns:pdf="http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/extensions/pdf">
    <pdf:name key="PageMode">FullScreen</pdf:name>
    <pdf:dictionary type="normal" key="ViewerPreferences">
      <pdf:boolean key="HideToolbar">true</pdf:boolean>
      <pdf:boolean key="HideWindowUI">true</pdf:boolean>
      <pdf:boolean key="FitWindow">true</pdf:boolean>
      <pdf:boolean key="CenterWindow">true</pdf:boolean>
      <pdf:name key="NonFullScreenPageMode">UseThumbs</pdf:name>
      <pdf:name key="PrintScaling">None</pdf:name>
    </pdf:dictionary>
    <pdf:dictionary type="normal" key="OpenAction">
      <pdf:name key="Type">Action</pdf:name>
      <pdf:name key="S">JavaScript</pdf:name>
      <pdf:string key="JS">this.print(false,0,this.numPages-1);</pdf:string>
    </pdf:dictionary>
  </pdf:dictionary>

The JavaScript was borrowed from Bugzilla #12610, which also attempted to address this.

I'd say it's about time to look into adding some basic validation, shaving off the rough edges (!!serialization!!), and adding some documentation and testcases.
