Try looking at http://pdfedit.petricek.net/wiki/HowtoAddAccentedText
The special character limitation issue is closed for now, as it can be bypassed 
in most cases, but is in TODO and waits for clean implementation.

Bug.
The problem is in PDF charset specification, where normal char has size of 1 
byte and you can not map all accented and special characters into 256+- 
characters. Unicode is not yet fully supported (e.g. adding text).
