I do realize that not all PDFs use /ToUnicode (although their number is significant, approx. 600 out of 2000 in my randomly picked batch of files have it).

Your sampling isn't very "random", and I would bet that all of those 600 are from Distiller 5.0 or later, or Adobe InDesign. Almost none of the other PDF production tools out there genereate /ToUnicode.



Would you happen to know the meaning of the word "def" in a Cmap (see original message)? And why would it be placed inside a dictionary?


It's Postscript code for "define". That cmap is Postscript formatted data, NOT PDF.
