Timo Boehme commented on PDFBOX-433:
------------------------------------
Yes, if you look in Google for 'uni0049 pdf' you get a link to
http://shongane.ie.u-ryukyu.ac.jp/viewvc/y06/e065763/info3/final/pic/uml.pdf?revision=1.1&view=markup&sortby=date&sortdir=down.
There you can download the PDF file (short link:
http://shongane.ie.u-ryukyu.ac.jp/viewvc/y06/e065763/info3/final/pic/uml.pdf?revision=1.1
).
This file has uniXXXX names with suffix (e.g. uni30A2.926).
Without my patch you won't get any usable characters.

> Key: PDFBOX-433
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-433
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Parsing, Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0-incubator
> Reporter: Timo Boehme
> Priority: Minor
>
> Adobe has specified
> (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/archives/glyph.html) how glyph names
> should be constructed to easily convert them (to Unicode). What is currently
> missing in PDFBox is the handling of suffixes (NAME.SUFFIX) and Unicode names
> (uniXXXX). I have therefore attached an updated method getCharacter( COSName
> name ) for class org.apache.pdfbox.encoding.Encoding.
> It first strips off suffix and tests later on for names starting with 'uni'.
> Timo
> /**
> * This will get the character from the name.
> *
> * @param name The name of the character.
> *
> * @return The printable character for the code.
> */
> public static String getCharacter( COSName name )
> {
> COSName baseName = name;
> String nameStr = baseName.getName();
> // test if we have a suffix and if so remove it
> if ( nameStr.indexOf('.') > 0 ) {
> nameStr = nameStr.substring( 0, nameStr.indexOf('.') );
> baseName = COSName.getPDFName( nameStr );
> }
>
> String character = (String)NAME_TO_CHARACTER.get( baseName );
> if( character == null )
> {
> // test for Unicode name
> // (uniXXXX - XXXX must be a multiple of four;
> // each representing a hexadecimal Unicode code point)
> if ( nameStr.startsWith( "uni" ) )
> {
> StringBuffer uniStr = new StringBuffer();
>
> for ( int chPos = 3; chPos + 4 <=
