<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>I'm using XEP 4.5 to generate PDF's and I
have turned on the LINEARIZE option for PDF output. For any document, when
I look at the document properties with Acrobat Reader, "Fast Web View" is always
reported as "No". I traced the problem to an error in value for the L
parameter in the linearization parameter dictionary. According to the PDF
Reference (1.4) the value of the L parameter is supposed to be:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>"The length of the entire file in bytes.
This must be exactly equal to the actual length of the PDF file. A mismatch
indicates that the file is not linearized and must be treated as ordinary PDF,
ignoring linearization information."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>The value of the L parameter in PDFs
generated with XEP is NOT equal to the length of the entire file in bytes (it is
less). If change it to be equal, then Acrobat Reader shows "Fast Web View"
as "Yes".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Any chance of getting this fixed
soon? I don't want to have to post process the PDF files.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>See attached files for simple
example.</FONT></DIV>
