pdftract-2a6rk: OCG /OCProperties parsing verification

Summary

The OCG (Optional Content Groups) implementation is complete in /home/coding/pdftract/crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/ocg.rs. The implementation was already present in the codebase when this task was picked up.

Implementation details

Public API

• parse_oc_properties(resolver: &XrefResolver, oc_props_ref: Option<ObjRef>) -> OcProperties
• Located in crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/ocg.rs:273-422

Data structures

1. OcProperties (lines 192-271):

   • present: bool — true if /OCProperties was present
   • groups: HashMap<ObjRef, OcGroup> — all OCGs in the document
   • default_visibility: HashMap<ObjRef, bool> — default visibility per OCG
   • base_state: BaseState — overall default (ON/OFF/Unchanged)
   • ocmds: HashMap<ObjRef, Ocmd> — optional content membership dicts
   • diagnostics: Vec<Diagnostic> — parsing diagnostics

2. OcGroup (lines 122-186):

   • name: Option<String> — /Name entry
   • intent: Vec<String> — /Intent (e.g., "View", "Design")
   • usage: Option<PdfDict> — /Usage dictionary

3. BaseState enum (lines 15-49):

   • On, Off, Unchanged
   • Unchanged treated as On for default config

4. Ocmd and OcmdPolicy (lines 51-120):

   • OCMD support for boolean combinations (AllOn, AnyOn, AllOff, AnyOff)
   • Policy evaluation deferred to Phase 3

Catalog integration

The catalog.rs already integrates OCG parsing:

• Lines 486-491: Extract /OCProperties from catalog
• Stores result in Catalog.oc_properties: Option<OcProperties>

Acceptance criteria verification

Criteria	Status	Test
EC-16: OCG with default OFF state	✅ PASS	test_parse_oc_properties_base_state_off
/BaseState OFF + /ON [ocg1 ocg2]	✅ PASS	test_parse_oc_properties_with_on_array
No /OCProperties: present = false	✅ PASS	test_oc_properties_not_present
/OCMD with /AllOn policy preserved	✅ PASS	test_ocmd_parse, test_ocmd_evaluation_all_on
proptest: never panics on random input	✅ PASS	fuzz_parse_oc_properties_no_panics, fuzz_ocg_group_parse_no_panics, fuzz_ocmd_parse_no_panics
INV-8: no panics on arbitrary input	✅ PASS	All proptests verify INV-8 compliance

Phase 3 integration

The OcProperties struct provides:

• is_visible(ocg_ref: ObjRef) -> bool — check OCG default visibility
• is_ocmd_visible(ocmd_ref: ObjRef) -> bool — evaluate OCMD policy
• ocg_name(ocg_ref: ObjRef) -> Option<&str> — get OCG name

Phase 3 content stream processing will use these methods to suppress glyphs inside /OC /OCGRef BDC blocks when the referenced OCG is OFF.

Files

• Implementation: crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/ocg.rs (909 lines)
• Catalog integration: crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/catalog.rs (lines 10, 326, 486-491)
• Tests: inline in ocg.rs (lines 424-908)

Retrospective

• What worked: The implementation was already complete and well-tested
• What didn't: N/A (implementation was already present)
• Surprise: The bead description matched an existing implementation exactly
• Reusable pattern: Use OcProperties::not_present() for documents without /OCProperties
