Summary description: LaTeX PDF management bundle
Announcement text:
### Changed * The name of the bundle is now pdfmanagement! Files have been renamed to no longer use “testphase”. * Force `/Contents` key on Link only if PDF/UA-1 is detected * The standard is no longer switched automatically from A-4 to A-4f if an embedded file is found, a note is written to the log-file. See comment in issue #107 * removed some color definitions in firstaid/color-ltx.sty as they are done by the kernel directly. ### Added * new module l3pdfoutline to create bookmarks * latex-lab-bookmark.dtx: a reimplementation of the bookmark package which uses the new module l3pdfoutline * l3pdftools: new command `\pdf_purify:nN`, a replacement for hyperref's `\pdfstringdef`. ### Fixed * css-files embedded at the end were not detected by the embedded file test * The object for /Pattern didn't exist if they were referenced in tikz fading/XObject
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/pdfmanagement The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfmanagement/

pdfmanagement – LaTeX PDF management bundle
This package is used to load LaTeX’s PDF management code.
The PDF management code offers backend independent interfaces to central PDF dictionaries, tools to create annotations, outlines, form Xobjects, form fields, to embed files, and to handle PDF standards.
The code is currently provided as independent package. It is automatically loaded if a document uses \DocumentMetadata. It can also be loaded as a package. At a later stage it will be integrated into the LaTeX kernel (or in parts into permanent support packages).
