Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-5358:
-----------------------------------------
proposed change: add this to the beginning of COSString.toString
{code}
if (bytes.length >= 3 &&
(bytes[0] & 0xff) == 0xEF && (bytes[1] & 0xff) == 0xBB &&
(bytes[2] & 0xff) == 0xBF)
{
return new String(bytes, 3, bytes.length - 3,
StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
}
{code}

> Add support for UTF-8 in strings

>
> Peter Wyatt recently published an article on UTF-8 strings in PDF 2.0:
> [https://www.pdfa.org/understanding-utf-8-in-pdf-2-0/]
> The article includes a link to a test file he created:
> [https://github.com/pdf-association/pdf20examples/blob/master/pdf20-utf8-test.pdf]
>
> Our debugger shows that we may need to add support for this (see attached).
> This was with PDFBox 2.0.25. I didn't have a chance to test with 3.x or the
> 2.x snapshot.
> I don't think we're necessarily covering all the changes yet in PDF 2.0, but
> I thought I'd open this issue for at least discussion.
