%
% \section{\pkg{l3pdfxform} documentation}
% This module contains a number of commands to create \enquote{form XObjects},
% for which pdf\TeX{} introduced the short name \enquote{xforms}.
%
% The status is still beta.
% The dvips route is now better supported but there are open issues
% if landscape pages are involved or if the objects are larger than the page.
% With dvips the creation of a form involves typesetting and so can affect spacing.
%
% Probably some of the function will also need to be enhanced by hooks.
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2019-08-05,updated=2021-02-14]
% {
% \pdfxform_new:nnn
% }
% \begin{syntax}
% \cs{pdfxform_new:nnn} \Arg{name} \Arg{attributes} \Arg{content}
% \end{syntax}
% This command create a new form XObject that can be used as appearance or
% directly later.
% If the \meta{content} contains BDC-marks it should \emph{not} be given as a
% previously typeset box, but directly so that the names of the
% BDC-marks can be added to the resources of the xform. The xform will automatically
% include the resources of the current page.
% The content will be typeset in a hbox. With pdflatex and luatex
% the surrounding color is \emph{not} stored in the form XObject
% but should be if wanted added e.g. with |\color_select:n{.}|. This keeps
% the option of color injection open.
% \end{function}
% \begin{function}[added = 2019-08-05]
% {
% \pdfxform_use:n
% }
% \begin{syntax}
% \cs{pdfxform_use:n} \Arg{name}
% \end{syntax}
% This command uses (typesets) a previously created form XObject.
% If the surrounding color is different, it is injected in the form XObject with the
% engines pdftex or luatex.
% \end{function}
% \begin{function}[EXP,added = 2019-08-05]
% {
% \pdfxform_ref:n
% }
% \begin{syntax}
% \cs{pdfxform_ref:n} \Arg{name}
% \end{syntax}
% Inserts the appropriate information to reference the xform \meta{name}
% in for example appearance dictionaries.
% \end{function}
% \begin{function}[EXP,added = 2019-08-05]
% {
% \pdfxform_wd:n, \pdfxform_ht:n, \pdfxform_dp:n
% }
% \begin{syntax}
% \cs{pdfxform_wd:n} \Arg{name}
% \end{syntax}
% These command give back the sizes of the form XObject. The values are stored in
% tl-variables with the unit pt and not in dimensions!
% \end{function}
% \begin{function}[EXP,pTF,added = 2020-04-29]
% {
% \pdfxform_if_exist:n
% }
% \begin{syntax}
% \cs{pdfxform_if_exist_p:n} \Arg{name}
% \cs{pdfxform_if_exist:nTF} \meta{name} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
% \end{syntax}
% These command tests if an xform with name \Arg{name} has been already defined.
% \end{function}%

% \subsection{Form XObject (pdfxform)}
% \begin{NOTE}{UF}
% - As in dvi mode the xform is immediate, this is done for pdftex/luatex too.
% If needed a delayed version can be added later.
% - the argument for attributes is needed to add e.g. /StructParents
% - it is not clear if an argument for additional resources is needed, probably they
% should / need to be added automatically.
% - code for adding ExtGState etc to the local resource is missing, will be
% added when the object name is clear.
% - should the size be stored in dim or tl?
% - dvips implementation is missing for ideas: pdfbase, atfi-dvips.def,
