Revision: 1

Contributors: Laurent Le Meur (EDRLab), Hadrien Gardeur (De Marque)

Requirements

LCP for PDF is based on the PDF Profile of the Readium Web Publication Manifest and follows its requirements for packaging.
Every LCP for PDF package must use:
- the .lcpdf extension.
- the application/pdf+lcp media type.
PDF documents referenced in the readingOrder must not be compressed in the package.
A cover should be referenced in resources of manifest.json and must not be encrypted.
An embedded LCP License Document must be located at license.lcpl.
Every encrypted resource must indicate in the properties of its Link Object an encrypted element where:
- scheme must be set to http://readium.org/2014/01/lcp.
- profile and algorithm must be set properly based on the LCP Encryption Profile of the License.
