+ * Incorporate changes from Masamichi Hosoda <trueroad@trueroad.jp>
+ to properly handle signature in the following ways:
+ - Always represent /Contents in a signature dictionary as a hex
+ string
+ - Do not compress signature dictionaries when generating object
+ streams
+ - Do not encrypt/decrypt the /Contents field of the signature
+ dictionary when creating or reading encrypted files
+
+ * Incorporate changes from Masamichi Hosoda <trueroad@trueroad.jp>
+ to add additional methods for making it possible to gain deeper
+ insight into cross reference tables and object renumbering. These
+ new API calls make it possible for applications to go into PDF
+ files created by qpdf and make changes to them that go beyond
+ working with the PDF at the object level. The specific use case
+ for these changes was to write an external tool to perform digital
+ signature, but there could be other uses as well. New methods
+ include the following, all of which are described in their
+ respective headers:
+ - QPDF::getXRefTable()
+ - QPDFObjectHandle::getParsedOffset()
+ - QPDFWriter::getRenumberedObjGen(QPDFObjGen)
+ - QPDFWriter::getWrittenXRefTable()
+
