#2744 — DSC level 1: For comment

Hello

DSC level 1 says that "if there is no For comment, the intended recipient is assumed to be the same as the value of Creator".

But I see no such remark in DSC 2.1 or 3.0 for the For comment. When parsing the postscript file, should I set the For comment to the value of Creator only for level 1 if For is not present? Or should I just leave it unset ?

thank you

It depends *why* you are parsing the
PostScript document.

The %%For: comment can be used for a banner
page or for document routing.  If your
purpose is something similar then, for DSC
Level 1, set %%For: equal to %%Creator::.
At higher DSC levels, %%Creator: is usually
the name of the document composition
software; this is not much use for a
banner or for routing, so the %%For: comment
should be left unset.

If your purpose is simply to check
compliance with a DSC specification then
there is no point in setting anything;
either the PostScript document complies or
it does not.

Actually for both parsing the document to retrieve values of the DSC and validating he DSC. But indeed i have forgotten to say that it was specifically for geting values of the DSC comments
