%
% \section{\pkg{l3pdfmanagement} documentation}
% When creating a pdf a number of objects, dictionaries and entries to
% central \enquote{core} dictionaries must be created.
%
% The commands in this module offer interfaces to this core PDF dictionaries
% They unify a number of primitives like the pdftex
% registers and commands \cs{pdfcatalog}, \cs{pdfpageattr},
% \cs{pdfpagesattr}, \cs{pdfinfo}, \cs{pdfpageresources}
% and similar commands of the other backends in a backend independent way.
%
% The supported backends are pdflatex, lualatex, (x)dvipdfmx (latex, xelatex
% and---starting in texlive 2021--lualatex)
% and dvips with ps2pdf (not completely yet). dvips with distiller could work too
% but is untested.
%
% That the interfaces are backend independent doesn't mean that the results and even
% the compilation behavior is identical. The backends are too different to allow
% this. Some backends expand arguments e.g. in a \cs{special} while other don't.
% Some backends can insert a resource at the first compilation, while another uses
% the aux-file and a label and so needs at least two. Some backends create and
% manage resources automatically which must be managed manually by other backends.
%
% The dictionaries and resources handled by this module are inserted only
% once in a PDF or only once per page. Examples are the Catalog dictionary,
% the Info dictionary, the page resources. For these dictionaries and resources
% management by the \LaTeX{} kernel is necessary to avoid
% that packages overwrite settings from
% other packages which would lead to clashes and incompatibilities.
% It is therefore necessary that \emph{all} packages which want to add content to these
% dictionaries and resources use the interface provided by this module.
%
% As these dictionaries and resources are so central for the PDF format values to these
% dictionaries are always added globally. Through the interface values
% can be added (and in many cases also removed) by users and packages,
% but the actually writing of the
% dictionary entries and resources to the PDF is handled by
% the kernel code.
%
% The interface uses as main name to address the resources \emph{Paths}
% which follow the names and structure described in the PDF reference. This
% should make it easy to identify the names needed to insert a specific
% PDF resources with the new interfaces.
% All \emph{Paths} have names starting with an uppercase letter.
%
% The following tabular summarize the \emph{Paths} and which pdftex primitive they
% replace:
%
% \begin{tabular}{ll}
%  Info                                  & \cs{pdfinfo}           \\
%  Catalog \&  various subdictionaries   & \cs{pdfcatalog}        \\
%  Pages                                 & \cs{pdfpagesattr}      \\
%  Page, ThisPage                        & \cs{pdfpageattr}       \\
%  Page/Resources/ExtGState              & \cs{pdfpageresources}  \\
%  Page/Resources/Shading                & \cs{pdfpageresources}  \\
%  Page/Resources/Pattern                & \cs{pdfpageresources}  \\
%  Page/Resources/ColorSpace             & \cs{pdfpageresources}  \\%
%  \end{tabular}
%
%  There is no \texttt{Page/Resources/Properties} dictionary in the list,
%  because this dictionary is not filled directly, but
%  managed through side effects when setting BDC-marks.
%
%  \subsection{User Commands}
%  To avoid problems with older documents the resource management of this
%  module is not activated unconditionally. The values are pushed out to the
%  dictionaries only if a boolean has been set to true. The state can be tested
%  with a conditional.
%  \begin{function}[EXP,pTF,added=2020-07-04]
%   {\pdfmanagement_if_active:}
%   This conditional tests if the resource management code is active.
%  \end{function}
%  \begin{function}[added=2021-07-23]
%   {\IfPDFManagementActiveTF}
%   This is a LaTeX2e version of the conditional
%  \end{function}

% \begin{function}[added = 2020-04-06,updated=2021-07-23]
%   {\pdfmanagement_add:nnn,\pdfmanagement_add:nne,\pdfmanagement_add:nee,\pdfmanagement_add:eee,
%    \PDFManagementAdd}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfmanagement_add:nnn} \Arg{resource path} \Arg{name} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
% This function puts \Arg{name} \Arg{value} in the PDF resource described by
% the symbolic name \Arg{resource path}. Technically it stores it globally in an internal
% property lists and writes it later into the right PDF dictionary\footnote{Currently all
% resources are PDF dictionaries, so resource and dictionary mean the same.}
% Which values for \Arg{resource path} exist is described in the following.
% \Arg{name} should be a PDF Name without the starting slash. Like with all
% keys used in PDF dictionaries (see the l3pdfdict module) the name is escaped
% with \cs{str_convert_pdfname:n} when stored.
% \Arg{value} should be a valid PDF value for this Name in the
% target dictionary. |\PDFManagementAdd| is a copy of |\pdfmanagement_add:eee|
% and so expands all its arguments.
%
%
% The code works with all major engines but not necessarily
% in the same way. Most importantly
% \begin{itemize}
% \item The expansion behaviour of the backends can differ. Some backends expand a
% value always fully when writing to the PDF, with other backends command names
% could end as strings in the PDF. So one should neither rely on \Arg{name}
% \Arg{value} to be expanded nor not expanded by the backend commands.
% \item The number of compilations needed can differ between the engines and
% backends. Some engines have to use labels and the aux-file to setup
% the dictionaries and so need at least two compilations to put everything
% in place.
% \item dvips doesn't support everything. It is for example not possible
% to add manually or through side effects
% a name tree like /AP or /JavaScript, pdfmark doesn't provide a handler
% here---at least I didn't find anything suitable.
% \end{itemize}
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2020-04-08]
%   {\pdfmanagement_show:n }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfmanagement_show:n} \Arg{resource path}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This shows the content of the dictionary targeted by
%   \Arg{resource path} in the log and on the terminal if possible.
%
%   It is not reliable for page resources as these are filled at shipout.
%
%   It also doesn't show necessarily all the content.
%   For example most backends add automatically
%   entries to the Info dictionary.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2020-04-07]
%   {
%     \pdfmanagement_remove:nn,
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfmanagement_remove:nn} \Arg{resource path} \Arg{name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Removes  |/|\meta{name} and its associated \meta{value} from the
%   dictionary described with \Arg{resource path}
%   The removal is global.
%   If \meta{name} is not found no change occurs,
%   \emph{i.e}~there is no need to test for the existence of a name before
%   trying to remove it.
%   Values from the special Catalog entries where the values are collected in arrays
%   can't be removed (but should ever a use case appear it could be added).
% \end{function}
%
% \subsection{Description of the resource paths}
% \subsubsection{Info: The Info dictionary}
% \begin{NOTE}{UF}
% path: Info
% The info dictionary is filled by e.g. \cs{pdfinfo}. Multiple appearances of
% \cs{pdfinfo} are concatenated, so one could end with multiple /Title or /Author entries.
% It is then viewer dependent which one is showed, so it is better to avoid this.
% We therefore setup a property which is filled and written to the info
% directory in one go. According to hyperref a few odd drivers (hvtex, dvipsone, dviwind)
% don't support arbitrary keys, but this should be handle elsewhere.
% As entries with empty content
% should be omitted we add a test. The string command should perhaps escape the argument,
% but for now we are assuming that the argument is pdf safe.
% hyperref writes to the info dictionary at the shipout of the first page --
% probably to catch the  case that \cs{title} is issued after the begin of the document.
% We are outputting at the last page -- this needs a second compilation but
% this is needed anyway.
% \end{NOTE}
% \potentialclash If the primitive commands of the engines are used too there will
% be double entries in the pdf (at least with the backend pdftex and luatex).
% How pdf viewer handles this is unpredictable.
%
%  \begin{function}
%   {
%     pdfmanagement: Info
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfmanagement_add:nnn} \{Info\} \Arg{name} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Adds |/|\meta{name} and the \meta{value} to the Info dictionary.
%   \meta{name} should be a PDF name without the leading slash,
%   Like with all
%   keys used in PDF dictionaries (see the l3pdfdict module) the name is escaped
%   with \cs{str_convert_pdfname:n} when stored.
%   \meta{value} should be a valid pdf value. Any escaping or (re)encoding must be
%   done explicitly.
%   If a \meta{name} is used twice, only the last \meta{value}
%   set will be used. The Info dictionary is written at the end of the compilation,
%   so values can be set at any time.
%   The Info dictionary expects utf16be in the strings, so a conversion like this is
%   normally sensible:
%   \begin{verbatim}
%    \str_set_convert:Nnnn \l_tmpa_str { Grüße }{ default } {utf16/string}
%    \pdfmanagement_add:nne {Info} {Title}{(\l_tmpa_str)}
%   \end{verbatim}
% \end{function}
%
%  The entries in Info dictionary are rather special as the engines/backends adds some
%  core entries, and changing or removing these entries is not always possible.
%
%  The special entries are
%  \begin{description}
%  \item[Producer] Added by all engines and backends. Removing the entry is only possible
%  with luatex with |\pdfvariable suppressoptionalinfo 128|. Changing is possible
%  with \cs{pdfmanagement_add:nnn} with the exception of dvips/pstopdf where the entry is
%  always something like |GPL Ghostscript 9.53.3|.
%  \item[Creator] Added by all engines and backends. Removal only possible in luatex by adding
%  16 to the bitset. Changing is possible with the management command.
%  \item[CreationDate] Added by all engines and backends. With the exception of |dvips/ps2pdf|
%  |SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH| is honored. With pdftex it is possible to suppress it with
%  |\pdfinfoomitdate = 1|, and in luatex by adding 32 to the bitset.
%  Changing is possible with the management command and will overwrite an epoch setting.
%  \item[ModDate] Added by all engines and backends with the exception of xdvipdfmx.
%  With the exception of |dvips/ps2pdf| |SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH| is honored.
%   Suppressing it is possible in pdftex with
%  |\pdfinfoomitdate = 1|, and in luatex by adding 64 to the bitset. Changing is possible with
%  the management command.
%  \item[Trapped] Added by pdftex and luatex. Removal only possible in
%  luatex by adding 256 to the bitset. Changing (and adding in the other backends) is
%  possible with the management command.
%  \item[PTEX.Fullbanner] Added by pdftex and luatex. Removal possible in pdftex with
%  |\pdfsuppressptexinfo-1|, in luatex by adding 512 to the bitset.
%  Changing is not possible.
%  \item[Title] Added by dvips/ps2pdf and set to |filename.dvi|. Removal is probably
%  not possible, but it can be overwritten with the management command.%
%  \end{description}
% \subsubsection{Pages: The \enquote{Pages} dictionary}
% \potentialclash As the content of this dictionary is written at the end it will
% in pdftex and luatex overwrite values added with the primitive commands (e.g.
% \cs{pdfpagesattr}.
% Package authors should use the management commands instead.

% By using this path with the pdfmanagement interface,
% values can be added to the /Pages object.
% This replaces for example \cs{pdfpagesattr}.
%
% \begin{function}{pdfmanagement: Pages}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfmanagement_add:nnn} \{Pages\} \Arg{name} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
%
%   Adds |/|\meta{name} \meta{value} to the |/Pages| dictionary.
%   It is always stored globally. The content is written to the pdf
%   at the end of the compilation, so values can be added, changed or
%   removed until then.
%   \meta{name} should be a valid pdf name without the leading slash,
%   \meta{value} should be a valid pdf value. Any escaping or (re)encoding must
%   be done explicitly. Some backends expand the value but this should not be
%   relied on. If a \meta{name} is used twice, only the last \meta{value}
%   set will be used.
%
% \end{function}
%
% \subsubsection{\enquote{Page} and \enquote{ThisPage}}
% \begin{NOTE}{UF}
% Open is the question if one need a command to set attribute on a page by page number.
% Open is the setter for /AF (and perhaps /OutputIntents).
% See also https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/479812/extension-of-rotating-package-to-set-pdf-rotation
% (should work now)
% \end{NOTE}
% \begin{function}[added = 2020-04-12]
%   {pdfmanagement: Page}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfmanagement_add:nnn} \{Page\} \Arg{name} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Values added with the path \texttt{Page} are added to the page dictionary
%   of the current page and the following pages. The current page means the page
%   on which the command is \emph{executed}. \meta{name} should be a valid pdf name
%   without the leading slash. Typical names used here are e.g.
%   \texttt{Rotate} and \texttt{CropBox}.
%   \meta{value} should be a valid pdf value.
%   Any escaping or (re)encoding must be done explicitly. Some backends expand the
%   value but this should not be relied on.
%   To avoid problems with the asynchronous page breaking
%   the command should be used after \cs{newpage} or in the header.
%   It should not be used in a float, as it will then quite probably be executed
%   on the wrong page.
%   The value is assigned directly and is always stored globally.
%   If a \meta{name} is used twice, only the last \meta{value}
%   set will be used. Names set with \cs{pdfmanagement_add:nnn}|{ThisPage}| will overwrite
%   names set with \cs{pdfmanagement_add:nnn}|{Page}| if there is a clash.
%   Values can be removed again with \cs{pdfmanagement_remove:nn}.
%   This replaces \cs{pdfpageattr}.
% \end{function}
% \begin{function}[added = 2020-04-12]
%   { pdfmanagement: ThisPage}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfmanagement_add:nnn} \{ThisPage\} \Arg{name} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Adds |/|\meta{name} \meta{value} at \emph{shipout} to the page dictionary of the
%   current page. Current page means here the \emph{shipout} page. \emph{shipout} means
%   at the end of the \texttt{shipout/background} hook. Code that wants to set a value
%   in a shipout hook should use the \texttt{shipout/background} hook too. Other hooks
%   are either too early or too late.%
%   It is always stored globally.
%   If \Arg{name} has already a value set in the \texttt{Page}
%   dictionary it will be overwritten for this page.
%   \meta{name} should be a valid pdf name without the leading slash,
%   \meta{value} should be a valid pdf value. Any escaping or (re)encoding must be
%   done explicitly. If a \meta{name} is used twice, only the last \meta{value}
%   set will be used.
%   With the engine pdflatex (at least) a second compilation is needed.
%   Values added to \texttt{ThisPage} can not be removed. It is not possible to
%   show the content of this dictionary with \cs{pdfmanagement_show:n}.
% \end{function}
%
% \paragraph{Changing the \texttt{/MediaBox}}: It is possible to change
% the \texttt{/MediaBox} of one or more pages by setting it for the \texttt{Page}
% or \texttt{ThisPage} path (using \texttt{Pages} doesn't work, the engines
% overwrite this)---this works even with dvips and allows to create
% pages of different sizes. But you must be careful with the values.
% If you set e.g. with pdflatex \cs{pdfpageheight} to 300bp you get a mediabox of
% |0 0 595 300|, but pdflatex measure from the top and will also move
% the reference point up, so effectively
% you get the \emph{upper} third of the page. If you set the \texttt{/MediaBox}
% to |0 0 595 300| with \cs{pdfmanagement_add:nnn} you get the \emph{lower} third.
% In general it is better to use only the primitive commands to avoid confusing
% results.
%
% \subsubsection{\enquote{Page/Resources}: ExtGState, ColorSpace, Shading, Pattern}
% \begin{NOTE}{UF}
% Only for pdf/luatex and xdvipdfmx backend- and pdf-code is needed to add values
% to these resources.
% With dvips the resources are added through high-level code (e.g. transparency), so the
% backend/pdf commands are no-ops.
% For every resources there is only one object. References to these objects are added to
% all pages starting from the page where the first time something has been added to the
% resource and to all XObjects. For luatex and pdftex it must be done together
% with the /Properties, see above.
% I don't see a need to set e.g. /ColorSpace page wise: preflight handles this
% fine, see experiment colorspace-resources.
% As pgf does the same, there is a need to patch it for now. Ditto for package colorspace.
% \end{NOTE}
% \begin{function}[updated = 2020-04-10]
%   {
%    pdfmanagement: Page/Resources/ExtGState,
%    pdfmanagement: Page/Resources/ColorSpace,
%    pdfmanagement: Page/Resources/Shading,
%    pdfmanagement: Page/Resources/Pattern,
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfmanagement_add:nnn} \{Page/Resources/\meta{resource}\} \Arg{name} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Adds |/|\meta{name} \meta{value} to the page resource \meta{resource}.
%   \meta{resource} can be |ExtGState|, |ColorSpace|, |Pattern| or |Shading|.
%   The values are always stored globally. The content is written to the pdf
%   at the end of the compilation, so values can be added until then.
%   \meta{name} should be a valid pdf name without the leading slash,
%   \meta{value} should be a valid pdf value for the resource.
%   Any escaping or (re)encoding must be done explicitly. If a \meta{name} is
%   used twice, only the last \meta{value} set will be used.
%
%   With the dvips backend the command does nothing: these resources are managed by
%   ghostscript or the distiller if e.\,g. transparency is used.
%
%   The resources are added to all pages starting with the first where something has
%   been added to a resources. That means that for example
%   all ExtGState resources are combined in one
%   dictionary object and every page with a ExtGState resource refer to this object%
%   \footnote{This is similar to how pgf handles this resources}.
%
%   \potentialclash The primitive commands (e.g. \cs{pdfpageresources})
%   to set the resources should not be used
%   together with this code as the calls will overwrite each other and values
%   will be lost. This means that currently there are clashes with the packages tikz,
%   transparent and colorspace.
% \end{function}
% \subsubsection{\enquote{Catalog} \& subdirectories}
% \begin{NOTE}{UF}
% Perhaps some tools to create the AF-file specification dictionaries is useful.
% Open for now:
% /Extensions               (dict, pdf 2.0)
% /Dests ? difference to subdict in Names?
% /DSS                      (dict, pdf 2.0)
% /Acroform/DR/ExtGState etc probably unneeded.
% \end{NOTE}
% The catalog is a central dictionary in a PDF with a number of subdictionaries.
% Entries to the top level of the catalog can be added with\\
% |\pdfmanagement_add:nnn {Catalog}|\Arg{Name}\Arg{Value}.
% Entries to subdictionaries by using in the first
% argument one of the paths described later.
% The entries in the catalog have varying requirements regarding the
% PDF management. Some entries (like \texttt{/Lang}) are simple values
% where new values should
% overwrite existing values, other like for example \texttt{/OutputIntents}
% can contain a number of values and can be filled from more than one source.
% In some cases the values that needs to be added are not at the top-level
% but in some subsubdictionary or are actually part of an array.
% To handle the pdf management uses a variety of internal, special handlers.
%
% \potentialclash In some cases entries are added implicitly.
% For example entries to the name
% tree of the \texttt{/EmbeddedFiles} key in the \texttt{/Names} directory are
% added with the commands of the \texttt{l3pdffile} module. This clashes with
% e.g. the embedfile package which should not be used!
%
%
%   \paragraph{Entries at the top level of the catalog}
%   The Names in the following tabular are entries that are added to the
%   top level of the catalog.
%
%   If \meta{Name} gets assigned a value more than once the last one wins.
%   There is no check that the values have the correct type and format.
%   It is up to the user to ensure that the value does what is intended.
%
%   The required PDF version is only mentioned if it is larger than 1.5.
%
%   Example: |\pdfmanagement_add:nnn {Catalog}{PageMode}{/UseNone}|

% \paragraph{Catalog entries for name trees}
%
% \emph{Not supported in the dvips backend, pdfmark doesn't have an interface here}.
%
% In various places the PDF format allows to reference objects by name instead
% of by object reference. The relationship between a name and the object reference
% are store in so-called \emph{name trees}, which are stored in the
% Catalog/Names dictionary. The |/Dests| and the |/EmbeddedFiles| name trees are
% handled implicitly if destinations or files are added. Names to the other
% name trees can be added with |\pdfmanagement_add:nnn|, e.g. to add an value to
% the AP names (for appearance streams) use
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% \pdfmanagement_add:nne  { Catalog / Names / AP } {myAPname} {\pdf_object_ref_last:}
% \end{verbatim}
%
% Remarks:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item The name |myAPname| is processed through |\pdf_string_from_unicode:nnN{utf8/string}|
% and parentheses are added automatically. Ensure that the use of the name
% handles it in the same way.
% \item It is currently not possible to test if a name has already been used
% by another package or previous code,
% so use names where you can be confident that they are unique.
% (It would be possible to split up the first part and test, but it would slow
% down the compilation and I'm not sure if it is worth the trouble)
% \item The value is not preprocessed, it is up-to-you to ensure that it does the
% right thing.
% \item Currently the structure of the name tree is flat, it doesn't use
% Kids. But this can be changed if the need arise.
% \end{itemize}
%
% The following name trees can be filled with this method. Currently only the
% first three are activated. For  the first, |EmbeddedFiles| there are two methods
% to add a value:\\
% |\pdfmanagement_add:nnn{Catalog/Names/EmbeddedFiles}{name}{reference}|
% and
% |\pdfmanagement_add:nnn{Catalog/Names}{EmbeddedFiles}{reference}|.
% This is intended, the second methods creates a name on the fly (with the prefix l3ef)
