From PDF 32000-1:2008, section 12.7.7.3.1, table 243 (Entries in the FDF dictionary), on page 459:
Key: Encoding Type: name Value: (Optional; PDF 1.3) The encoding that shall be used for any FDF field value or option (V or Opt in the field dictionary; see Table 246) or field name that is a string and does not begin with the Unicode prefix U+FEFF. Default value: PDFDocEncoding. Other allowed values include Shift_JIS, BigFive, GBK, UHC, utf_8, utf_16 --- I posted a version of this patch to: https://sourceforge.net/p/itext/patches/101/ back in 2012-09-20, but I never heard back. The patch-submission interface on SF seems to be gone, so I'm mailing the patch to the list. It would be nice if itext was versioned in Git (to make it easier for me to maintain a patched version). It would be even nicer if there was an easy way to submit and browse issues/patches.
