John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-3347:
-------------------------------------

Ok, so the UTF-8 sequence for å (U+00E5) is *two bytes* {{C3 A5}}, so this PDF 
file is bad. This PDF appears to have its named encoded with ISO-8859-1, which 
is wrong.

> COSName parsing/writing interprets byte sequences as UTF-8 when parsing
