Table F. 3 – Page offset hint table, header section

Item

Size (bits)

Description

1

32

The least number of objects in a page (including the page object itself).

2

32

The location of the first page’s page object.

3

16

The number of bits needed to represent the difference between the greatest and least number of objects in a page.

4

32

The least length of a page in bytes. This shall be the least length from the beginning of a page object to the last byte of the last object used by that page.

5

16

The number of bits needed to represent the difference between the greatest and least length of a page, in bytes.

6

32

The least offset of the start of any content stream, relative to the beginning of its page.

7

16

The number of bits needed to represent the difference between the greatest and least offset to the start of the content stream.

8

32

The least content stream length.

9

16

The number of bits needed to represent the difference between the greatest and least content stream length.

10

16

The number of bits needed to represent the greatest number of shared object references.

11

16

The number of bits needed to represent the numerically greatest shared object identifier used by the pages (discussed further in Table F. 4 , item 4).

12

16

The number of bits needed to represent the numerator of the fractional position for each shared object reference. For each shared object referenced from a page, there shall be an indication of where in the page’s content stream the object is first referenced. That position shall be given as the numerator of a fraction, whose denominator is specified once for the entire document (in the next item in this table). The fraction is explained in more detail in Table F. 4 , item 5.

13

16

The denominator of the fractional position for each shared object reference.
