Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-679:
-------------------------------------------
With version 931224 the converter isn't used if an unicode mapping is given.
@Yigal: Please test that version, if possible. I guess it is easier for you to
check the result, as I'm not able to read arabic.
> Corruption of Arabic output due to Japanese bug fix
> ---------------------------------------------------

> Key: PDFBOX-679
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-679
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Andreas Lehmkühler
> Attachments: zzz.pdf

>
> The recent Japanese bug fix in org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont
> defines a set of encoding names that are given special CJK treatment. This
> set is too broad. For example, it stipulates that the 'Identity-H' encoding
> should be processed as JIS.
> We have Arabic PDFs where compound Arabic glyphs use the 'Identity-H'
> encoding. In pdfBox 1.0.0 they used to output Arabic but now they output
> garbage, because the Arabic unicode data is sent to the CJK converter.
> I've copied that description from the users mailing list [1]
