There's code in PdfEncodings to parse and convert to/from Unicode the cmaps. The font contains the cmap name.

I'm just thinking out loud here, I didn't dive into the problem yet, but: do you think it's possible for iText to find which CMap-file is to be inspected based on the font information available in the PDF? As Kevin already said: this part of iText is pretty new. We're all excited about it, but for the moment it's all highly experimental. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
