In a filespec dictionary, how do you specify a Unicode file name?My interpretation of the PDF spec is that <FFFE0416> and <FEFF1604> should do what you want but that there is no (or not sufficent) support in Acrobat 6 to deal with Unicode filenames. Other example, when you create OPI references with Unicode strings, you will see that the filenames in the PS file is truncated after the Unicode byte order marker. Also, my copy of a roman Acrobat 6 Prof on Win2000 Server refuses to load a PDF file which has an Unicode filename (I mean containing non roman character) on a NTFS volume.
The PDF Ref says: "In PDF 1.2 or higher a file specification may contain multiple-byte character codes represented in hexadecimal form between angle brackets." (3.10.1). That is pretty much all it says.
I tried to encode the russian letter Ж (unicode 0x0416) in many ways, with or without angle brackets, Little Endian, Big Endian, with and without Unicode markers, but the Reader refuses to recognize the file name. I tried:
/F <0416> /F <1604> /F <FFFE0416> /F <FEFF0416> /F <FFFE1604> /F <FEFF1604>
but all in vain. Is it even possible?
If you find a solution which is somehow supported in Acrobat 6, then feel free to let me know.
