Summary

This draft advances Go parity through nine independently validated stages:

  • bound OOXML ZIP loading and expose ErrInvalidPackage
  • add Reader/Writer conversion and complete font registry lifecycle APIs
  • embed registered TTF fonts as Type0/CID fonts with ToUnicode maps
  • add CLI --fonts support
  • fix one-byte PDF content stream length errors
  • remove synthetic XLSX sheet labels and paginate wide worksheets horizontally
  • add Flate-compressed PDF content streams and CLI --compress
  • parse DOCX section margins and support validated margin overrides
  • add XLSX row/column limits and portrait/landscape overrides in API and CLI

Validation

  • go vet ./...
  • go test ./...
  • go test -race ./...
  • real DOCX CLI conversion validated with pdfinfo and pdftotext
  • Go classic XLSX five-case visual benchmark: 0.8093 baseline to 0.9975
  • classic05_wide_table: 0.6867 at 1/3 pages to 0.9953 at 3/3 pages
  • PDF structure errors: present in all five baseline candidates, zero after the stream fix
  • Go classic DOCX five-case benchmark: 0.9872 baseline to 0.9889 after native margin parsing

Dependency

Adds golang.org/x/image v0.24.0 for SFNT parsing. Registered fonts are currently embedded in full; subsetting, TTC support, system font discovery, and complex-script shaping remain explicit follow-up work.

Remaining Go parity work

This PR remains draft because the matrix still tracks rendering and API gaps, including XLSX sheet selection, fit/scale, styles/merges/images, DOCX tables/images/styles, PPTX shapes/images, and complete benchmark evidence.

  • This returns after finding the first registered font that covers any text operation, and the PDF writer exposes only that one font as /FU1. Later fonts in the registry are never tried for operations the first font cannot encode; for example, a --fonts directory with a Latin font followed by a CJK font still falls back to Helvetica for the CJK run.

  • files is a map, so this loop has unspecified iteration order.

Collect matching roots and return a deterministic error when more than one format is present.

  • This defensive over-limit path returns an ordinary error even though it is a package validation failure.

Apply the package-size limit before reading the file.

os.ReadFile loads the complete input before ZIP validation. A large package can exhaust process memory through ConvertToPDFWithOptions, although the reader API rejects the same input.

Open the file and perform a bounded read before conversion. Preserve the extension-based format selection.

Retain page geometry for each DOCX section.

extractDOCX returns only one PageSize and one Margins value. Each pgSz or pgMar replaces the previous value. convertDOCX then applies the final section geometry to every page.

Return section-aware pages with their applicable geometry. Otherwise, earlier sections render with the last section's margins and page size.

Embed all fonts required by the text operations.

prepareEmbeddedFont returns after the first registered font that can encode any one text operation. If that font handles an ASCII line but not a later Greek or CJK line, the implementation never considers later registered fonts. The later line falls back to WinAnsi and replaces unsupported characters with ?.

Assign a font to each text operation. Then append every used font to the PDF resources.

Preserve an explicit zero-margin override.

NewMargins(0, 0, 0, 0) succeeds, but this check replaces that value with 54-point margins. The generated PDF therefore ignores a valid public option.

Apply the default only when options.Margins is nil. Do not use Margins{} to represent both an explicit value and an absent value.

Apply orientation to the effective page size.

This code swaps the worksheet page size. renderTextPages later replaces it with options.PageSize. Therefore, Landscape has no effect when the caller also supplies PageSize.

Resolve PageSize first, then apply Landscape. Ensure that rendering does not replace the oriented dimensions afterward.
