---------------------------------------
Summary: PDFont.encode results change on identical input
Key: PDFBOX-4318
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4318
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0.11, 3.0.0 PDFBox
Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
As reported Daniel Wildschut in the user mailing list:
Hello, we use PDFBox to fill in PDF Forms and stumbled on a potential bug while
sanitizing the input.
{quote}We call PDFont.encode to check beforehand if a given character can be
inserted using the given font.
However we noticed that the results of the method call can change depending on
what other strings have been checked before.
Apparently PDType1Font stores previous results in a codeToBytesMap, which then
causes the unexpected behavior.
I'd say that the key used in "codeToBytesMap.put(code, bytes);" is wrong; you
probably want to use the method parameter "unicode" instead.
I tested 2.0.11, the current 2.0.x branch and the 3.0.x branch and was able to
reproduce the problem with all of them.
Code to reproduce: {quote}
{code:java}
public class PDFBoxEncodeTest
{
public static void main( final String[] args )
{
final PDType1Font font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD;
tryEncode(font, "\u0080");
tryEncode(font, "€");
tryEncode(font, "\u0080");
}
private static void tryEncode(final PDFont font, final String str) {
try {
font.encode(str);
System.out.println("Character " + str.codePointAt(0) + " can be
encoded in Font " + font);
} catch (final IOException | IllegalArgumentException e) {
System.out.println("Character " + str.codePointAt(0) + " cannot be
encoded in Font " + font + ": " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
{code}

Expected output:
Character 128 cannot be encoded in Font PDType1Font Helvetica-Bold: U+0080
('.notdef') is not available in this font Helvetica-Bold encoding:
WinAnsiEncoding
Character 8364 can be encoded in Font PDType1Font Helvetica-Bold
Character 128 cannot be encoded in Font PDType1Font Helvetica-Bold: U+0080
('.notdef') is not available in this font Helvetica-Bold encoding:
WinAnsiEncoding
Actual output:
Character 128 cannot be encoded in Font PDType1Font Helvetica-Bold: U+0080
('.notdef') is not available in this font Helvetica-Bold encoding:
WinAnsiEncoding
Character 8364 can be encoded in Font PDType1Font Helvetica-Bold
Character 128 can be encoded in Font PDType1Font Helvetica-Bold
