Proper ToUnicode tables are essential for creation of workable PDF documents
(documents that support searching, bookmarking, copy/paste,conversion to other
formats and touchUp editing).
When exporting PDF documents via the built in PDF tool, ToUnicode tables are not
created properly, thus breaking document functionality.
An easy way to test if the tables are proper: Open the PDF document in Adobe
Acrobat 5 ME. Select a Hebrew word, and right click. Choose "create bookmark".
If the bookmark title is displayed properly in Hebrew- everything is OK. If you
get junk or blanks- it is broken.
To repro this bug:
* create a Hebrew document in OO.
* Use the "PDF Export" button to create a pdf (attached here as bugzilla_oo.pdf)
* from the same OO document, print to Acrobat 5 ME distiller (attached here as
bugzilla_acrobat_me.pdf)
* Open both in Acrobat 5 ME, and run the simple bookmark test above.
* Note the diffrences- the distillted document is currect, the OO native export
is not.
