&eltdepver;7.0

## Description

This element was used in the past to store the contents of a &pdf; packet. Since ®ina; 7.0, &pdf; packets now store their content directly in the character data of an &xml-attachment; element (which replaces the old &xml-packet; element for &pdf; packets).

A &xml-pdf; element contains a single &pdf; document, encoded in a printable format. The precise encoding format is specified by the `encoding` attribute (see below).

Whitespace and line breaks within this element are not relevant and can be ignored.
