- flavor of broken PDF files that use an "identity" encoding
- without embedding the font.
- Limited "transfer function" support in PDF. Transfer functions
- are a deprecated legacy PDF feature that predates proper color
- management. They were intended to provide limited color
- management such as applying a gamma curve. Transfer functions
