I've seen those two characters appear in PDF files before, but usually only in the Producer field, not in the Title field. How did you enter the PDF titles? Did you use the File->Document Info->General... selection (or Ctrl-D) in Acrobat Exchange, or some other facility? How are you parsing the PDFs in htdig? Are you using acroread, through the pdf_parser attribute, or using parse_doc.pl, conv_doc.pl or doc2html.pl through the external_parsers attribute. What is your current setting of either of these attributes. If you're using an external parser or converter, did you modify it in any way? What does its output look like on one of these problem PDF files? What does pdfinfo's output look like? What version of xpdf did you install to support the external parser/converter? -- Gilles R.
