simple test of a PDF produced from my usual unicode testbed: http://www.sustainablegis.com/unicode/ produced some strange results. first off it seems you have to *know* the encoding of the PDF (at least i didn't see any methods for examining this). i guess not a big deal as everybody's using unicode, right ;-) next when i stripped out the text, it handled pretty much all of the unicode text (after i told it to use utf-8) including the hebrew text which is BIDI. but it 99% flubbed the arabic & farsi (also BIDI). it did get the arabic question marks right (as well as it's directionality) but it turned the rest of the text into "nullnullnull". and surprisingly it also flubbed the korean though the rest of CJK worked (including vietnamese which is sometimes also lumped into CJK). i can't see a pattern as to what works & what doesn't. i guess it needs more looking into. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:245808 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
