  Q

The part before W n sets a clipping, the "0 0 0 scn" is black, and then it fills a rectangle. The properties of /GS1 decide whether it's transparent or not.

All,

   Tilman recently tweeted about a failed redaction with black
highlighter [0].  I realize there are probably 18 different ways of
failing with redaction, but is there a fairly straightforward way to
look for black highlighting with PDFBox?

   In the particular file referenced from Tilman's tweet, if I
understand correctly, I see a bunch of 'm' (start a new subpath) and l
(lowercase L) (append a straight line) in the particular file that the
article focused on and then 'f' (fill the path).

          Cheers,

               Tim
