I still don't get why you insist on using this approach given what the IETF
says about it
or what this has to do with itext.
The general intent is to encode human readable information (ASCII) such that
it is not modified in a way likely to matter to an intelligent human.The
encoding
format is designed to make the encoded file human readable, presumably
reflecting
human readable target data.
Are you just suggesting that itext should support dos and linux line endings?
Is a viewer expressing a preference for one or the other?
Do you have a pdf file recieved after going through a profanity and patriotism
scanner too?
I'm genuinely curious now, inquring minds want to know.

Acurate and relevant information can't bother anyone - do you want us to guess?
