Hi,
I thought I'd just poll the community on this one, as I can't see it reported
anywhere.
We have a PDF that lists its fonts using Japanese characters (in this case,
it's MS Gothic and MS PGothic, where "Gothic" actually is in Japanese
characters).
When trying to import that image using fo:external-graphic
(fop-pdf-images.jar), we get an exception with the message "Only 8-bit
characters allowed by this implementation".
In reviewing FOP code, org.apache.fop.pdf.PDFName.toHex() throws this exception
if the character id is > 256.
Does this mean FOP cannot handle cases where the names of PDF records are not
in simple ascii range?
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Only 8-bit characters allowed by
this implementation
