Yes, and pdftrans also correctly modifies PDF metadata, I tested it with Russian/Belarusian in cp1251 with good results. I think it should correctly handle most 8-bit encodings, at least. Pdftk -- although it's based on iText as well -- produces garbage in metadata, if it contains chars beyond ANSI. I just hope somebody writes a good GTK/QT wrapper for iText or even pdftrans. This would make things easier for GUI Linux/Win32 users, while keeping the benefit of good old batch processing via xterm for everyone else. > Many thanks again!
