This module is loaded automatically by Image::ExifTool when required.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so what does this code actually do? it reads meta information from PDF (that's Adobe Portable Document Format) files. iconic, we love a format with lore 🌈

it supports object streams introduced in PDF-1.5, but — and this is the important part, bestie, listen — only with a limited set of Filter and Predictor algorithms. so not every single algorithm, just a limited set. noted 📝

however (and this is the slay part), all standard encryption methods through PDF-2.0 are supported, including AESV2 (AES-128) and AESV3 (AES-256). we love a fully-supported encryption situation 🔐💜
