Hi,

I'm afraid there is still no full support for asian languages. To be more specific the problem is the missing support for CID-coded fonts and unicode mappings, which is especially needed for pdfs based on non latin based characters sets like those heavily used whithin asian languages. > I've been using the standard > unix pdftotext tool for pdf processing, and while that extracts utf-8 > text from Asian pdfs perfectly, I don't particularly like shelling out > to an external program.

But it's not that easy to implement, especially if you are not able to read those (asian) texts. ;-) It is one of the issues on my "want-todo-list" .... BR Andreas Lehmkühler
