Bernd Köster commented on PDFBOX-212:
-------------------------------------
The reason for this problem is the call to getBytes() from String. These
convert the String using the default Charset.
If you have an PDF encoded in Cp1252 and file.encoding is UTF8, you get ugly
results inserting äöüßÄÖÜ in the fields.
Somewhere the encoding of the pdf-file should be stored. I did not find the
position yet.
Perhaps these hints help.
