Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-31:
------------------------------------------
I've tried the first attached document tab0.pdf and found several problems.
- LineMiterLimit throws an exception
- LineDashPattern throws an exception
- pdfbox throws an exception because of unsupported Type3-fonts
I've provided a patch for the first issue and with version 735489 the
LineMiterLimit works.
I'm still working on the others ...

> hi, ben , today i found another bug withe the type3
> font.
> you know, the type3 font is used to display some other
> special "chatacter" exception the ASCII font, for
> example, the maths formula, the CJK chararter in some
> PDF file. in the PDFont.encode(), it will revoke the
> following :
> retval = encoding.getCharacter( getCodeFromArray( c,
> offset, length ) );
> in the static Encoding.getCharacter( COSName name ),
> it should return the charcter according to the cosname.
> however, in the encoding.getCharacte() , it will return
> the cosname when meeting a "special character".
> i think the following code should be comment out:
> if( character == null )
> {
> // it will return the Name to replace the correct
> chacter.
> character = name.getName();
> }

> the PDF file using Type3 Font:
> http://www.census.gov/population/socdemo/race/indian/cp-3-
> 7/tab01.pdf - the dash character is Type3 font.
> http://www.math.pku.edu.cn/course/probability/download/11.
> pdf - all the Chinese is Type3 font.
> http://ee-wcl.tamu.edu/itw2004/program/yeung_inv.pdf
> you can refer the PDF Reference version 1.5 page 386.
> http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/pdf/index_referen
> ce.html
> you can try to copy the text from the adobe reader , and
> comparing to the result of the PDFBox. :-)
> certainly, if the Encoding.getCharacter() can return null as i
> have modified, the code in PDFStreamEngine.showString()
> should be corrected as following :
> if (c!=null) {
> stringResult.append( c );
> log.info("char="+c);
> } else{
> continue;
> }
