UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 are encodings not charsets. They simply define a set of rules for Unicode character conversions, they are not simple character-to-byte-sequence mappings. The CF argument is a little confusing (adobe should add an encoding arg).
If you're shooting for the correct German charset, try CP1252. It should handle your problematic ligature characters (stored in the eighth bit). Warmest Regards, Phillip B.
