                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-654
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Text extraction
            Reporter: Atsuo Ishimoto


This is an update for PDFBOX-420 filed by Takashi Komatsubara.

In this patch, if "Identity-H" is used as encoding of font and the font doesn't 
supply TO_UNICODE table, then encoding name is generated from CID information 
(Registry and Ordering). This idea is borrowed from pdfminer[1], an another PDF 
library written in Python. I don't see any test failures with this patch.

I have published this patch last year[2], and got some good feedbacks from 
Japanese users[3].
