Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: imagemagick
Kubuntu 10.04, imagemagick package version 7:6.5.7.8-1ubuntu1.
I have a document scanner (Canon P-150) which I use to scan all incoming
bills, letters etc. I use scanimage (from sane-utils) to scan them into
.tiff files. I then use convert to compress the images into 85% quality
jpegs, and then finally into pdf files. I am Swedish, so I when I name
the files they often contain international characters, notably the
Scandinavian å ä and ö.
$ convert -compress jpeg -quality 85 page1.tiff page2.tiff
documentåäöÅÄÖ.pdf
The resulting pdf file has some automatically generated pdf metadata
tags that I can't set; title and producer. They seem to be written using
some naïve encoding that doesn't work well with my Swedish alphabet. An
example of pdfinfo output from the "documentåäöÅÄÖ.pdf" document
generated with the above command;
Title: documentåäöÖ×Ì.pdf
This is also the title of the document when opened in Okular and other
programs.
convert doesn't seem to listen to the -encoding argument in this case,
so I cannot simply use "-encoding UTF-8" when generating the documents.
(Nor can I set the metadata tags manually, which would be even nicer.)
** Affects: imagemagick (Ubuntu)

Cannot influence encoding of generated pdf metadata (such as with -encoding arg)
