[texhax] how the object ID are chosen in Latex while creating a PDF

[Mike Marchywka]

I had to go through something like this with a boot loader where the source was better
than documentation or google. Here I think if you have ubuntu you
can just do something like

apt-get source texlive-base

or whatever turns up on

apt-cache search latex 

that you want to examine.

I just tried this from my new Bionic Beaver and it looked like it was downloading sources ...
Usualy there are README files or links to the distro sites if you need more info.

    I am trying to understand how the object ID are chosen in pdflatex
    or latex.  Can someone please guide me to some documents or explain
    this question???

You'll need to look at the sources. This is not documented anywhere
else, as far I know.  https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/385380/
has some links.  Good luck! --karl
