OK. But could a PDF reader not use the same detection algorithm
as (say) the Microsoft C# Compiler -- "No BOM : ASCII; BOM : UTF-8" ?
Of course not; UTF-8 strings do not necessarily contain a BOM. Where
did you get that strange idea from?
I didn't :-) But that is how the Microsoft C# compiler determines
how to treat string literals in C# programs, and although I initially found
it confusing, once I discovered the algorithm I never looked back ...
If it works for Microsoft, why not for Adobe ?
