While converting a pdf containing german text I get a lot of "error : string is not in UTF-8" messages.

Is it not supported or is there a workaround?

Many Thanks!

    It is not specific to language, but to a font issue.
    Can you check what kind of TOKEN content is generated (empty string or not).
    If the pdf file is not too large, you can attach it.

    The document uses "Arial" and "TimesNewRoman" with

    Type: TrueType
    Encoding: WinAnsiEncoding
    Actual Font: ArialMT, TimesNewRomanPSMT
    Actual Font Type: TrueType
    ObjectNumber: 1664, 1665

    Another german document uses the same Fonts but there the conversion produces no error messages!

    I use functions from the xpdf library to extract string.
    I get from time to tome such a message also, but up to now I was unable to fix it.
