I was able to get the same name and I suggest this method:
1- Translate the string to UTF-8 bytes representation.
2- Get the bytes and encode them instead of characters.
This way the UTF-8 statement should be respected.
In code (beware: not efficient and without error management):
in escapeName of PDFName:
byte[] characters ;
// get UTF-8 bytes
try {
characters = name.substring((skipFirst ? 1 : 0)).getBytes("UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Invalid Name:"+name);
}
// encode bytes
for (int i = 0, c = characters.length; i < c; i++) {
int ch = (0x00FF&characters[i]);
if (ch < 33 || ch > 126 || ESCAPED_NAME_CHARS.indexOf(ch) >= 0)
{
sb.append('#');
toHex(ch, sb);
} else {
char cxc = (char)ch ;
sb.append(cxc);
}
}
return sb.toString();
where toHex() manages an int
Best regards.
