It would be useful to have the ability to scan PDFs for malicious content, with an option to scan before opening. This will become more important when we ultimately have JS support in Poppler, of course, but for now, like any other type of virus or malware scanning, it is mainly to ensure that we don't pass along bad stuff to others.

​peepdf is a set of Python modules (with their own dependencies) to provide in-depth analysis of PDF documents. It would probably be advisable if peepdf and its dependencies (​pyv8 and ​pylibemu) were added to the repo, here, and we utilize those modules. I have not thought through the implementation of this, however, so that will require some more careful planning.

I have long used the GBM (Generalised Bitmap Module) plugin, which covers a much wider range of image formats than JPG. As Lucide has issues with "plugin overlap" it is necessary to disable the included JPG plugin in order to make full use of the GBM plugin.

It may be time to just remove the JPG plugin from the distribution entirely and point people to the GBM. Frpm the GBM description:

GBM (Generalised Bitmap Module) is a library for handling many different bitmap file formats. It comes with a set of useful command line tools for doing bitmap manipulations and format conversion. In this version BMP, JPG, JP2, PNG, TIF, PBM, PGM, PPM, PNM, XPM, JBG and RAW support is additionally included.

Instead of excluding Lucide from the system FOC, we might want to consider implementing FOC when available.

There is a method (see attached axample) to define custom controls and call them (using PM123 as an example, in this case) via:

call SysIni "USER", "PM_FOC_Substitute", "PM123.DLL,2101", "FOCRES.DLL,04" || '00'x
