John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2798: ------------------------------------- There's another problem with PDTextStream, 8-bit encoded text should be treated as having PDFDocEncoding, however we see this line: {quote} return new String(out.toByteArray(), "ISO-8859-1"); {quote} Note that ISO-8859-1 is essentially WinAnsiEncoding. PDTextStream is looking pretty questionable to me, first of all it doesn't actually represent a "text stream" but "a text string or a text stream", secondly it would be better to us COSString given that getAsStream() is never actually called. > PDTextStream does not support UTF16 with BOM > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-2798 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2798 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.8.10, 2.0.0 > Reporter: Michele Balistreri > Attachments: PDTextStream-UTF16.diff > > > the getAsString() method from PDTextStream is quite useful, but it does not > support UTF-16 text. I added a small check on the first two bytes to support > UTF-16 content. This is needed because two-bytes encodings do not degrade > gracefully like UTF-8, even for plain ASCII text and so the resulting string > is unusable. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
