Enhanced ZLib Compression Support
개요
HotPDF는 이제 PDF stream 및 content를 위해 bundled zlib-ng로 지원되는 포괄적인 ZLib-compatible compression support를 포함합니다. Zlib-compatible API는 PDF document의 FlateDecode filter operation 및 일반 data compression에 널리 사용되는 효율적인 deflate/inflate compression을 제공합니다
Key Features
- ZLib-compatible API backed by bundled zlib-ng
- PDF FlateDecode parameters support
- Stream-based compression and decompression
- Enhanced error handling and debugging capabilities
- Memory-efficient processing for large data streams
- Win64 one-shot image compression bridge for zlib-ng length ABI safety
- Win64x and diagnostic MSVC Win64 zlib-ng runtime SIMD dispatch with generic fallbacks
- 32-byte aligned C allocation bridge for SIMD-friendly native buffers
- Cross-platform C library integration
- Multiple compression levels (none, fastest, default, maximum)
Technical Implementation
향상된 ZLib support는 다음 기능을 제공하는 HPDFZLib.pas unit을 통해 구현됩니다
- Complete ZLib API: Full implementation of ZLib functions
- Stream Classes: TCustomZStream and derived classes for stream processing
- PDF Integration: TPDFFlateParms for PDF-specific parameters
- Enhanced Functions: InflateStr, InflateStrParms for simplified usage
64-bit zlib-ng object set에는 runtime-selected SSE2, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, PCLMULQDQ, AVX2 path가 포함됩니다. Win32는 bcc32c OMF toolchain과의 compatibility를 유지하기 위해 generic zlib-ng object set을 사용하고, Win32 JPEG/TIFF object는 classic bcc32에 남아 있습니다
Regression Coverage
Zlib-ng Flate backend은 automated Delphi 및 C++Builder regression suite로 cover됩니다. 현재 validation set은 Win32에서 20개 Delphi DUnitX test, Win64에서 20개, Win32에서 17개 C++Builder GoogleTest test, Win64x에서 17개를 통과합니다. Native object rebuild도 clean output에서 통과합니다. 206 Win32 object, 205 Win64x object, 206 MSVC Win64 object입니다. Covered workflow에는 page-stream compression, embedded font 및 ToUnicode CMap compression, Flate image stream, standard JPEG image placement, TIFF import, barcode-heavy output, copy/merge/edit scenario, demo-generated PDF가 포함됩니다
Compression Levels
- Z_NO_COMPRESSION (0): No compression
- Z_BEST_SPEED (1): Fastest compression
- Z_BEST_COMPRESSION (9): Maximum compression
- Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION (-1): Default balance of speed and compression
Usage Examples
Basic String Compression/Decompression
// Delphi example - Basic string inflation
function DecompressString(const CompressedData: AnsiString): AnsiString;
begin
// Simple decompression
Result := InflateStr(CompressedData);
// With debug output enabled
Result := InflateStr(CompressedData, True);
end;
Stream-based Compression
// Delphi example - Stream-based decompression
procedure DecompressStream(InStream, OutStream: TStream);
begin
// Decompress from input stream to output stream
PLZDecompressStream(InStream, OutStream);
// For raw deflate data (without ZLib headers)
PLZDecompressStreamRaw(InStream, OutStream);
end;
PDF FlateDecode with Parameters
// Delphi example - PDF FlateDecode with parameters
function DecompressPDFStream(const CompressedData: AnsiString;
Predictor, Colors, BitsPerComponent, Columns: Integer): AnsiString;
var
Parms: TPDFFlateParms;
begin
// Configure PDF parameters
Parms.Predictor := Predictor;
Parms.Colors := Colors;
Parms.BitsPerComponent := BitsPerComponent;
Parms.Columns := Columns;
Parms.ExpandedTo8Bit := True;
Parms.ColorSpace := 'DeviceRGB';
// Decompress with PDF parameters
Result := InflateStrParms(CompressedData, Parms);
end;
Low-level ZLib Operations
// Delphi example - Low-level ZLib operations
procedure CompressData;
var
strm: z_stream;
ret: Integer;
input: AnsiString;
output: AnsiString;
begin
input := 'Data to compress';
SetLength(output, Length(input) * 2);
// Initialize stream
FillChar(strm, SizeOf(strm), 0);
ret := deflateInit(strm, Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION);
if ret = Z_OK then
try
// Set input
strm.next_in := PByte(PAnsiChar(input));
strm.avail_in := Length(input);
// Set output
strm.next_out := PByte(PAnsiChar(output));
strm.avail_out := Length(output);
// Compress
ret := deflate(strm, Z_FINISH);
if ret = Z_STREAM_END then
begin
// Compression successful
SetLength(output, Length(output) - strm.avail_out);
end;
finally
deflateEnd(strm);
end;
end;
