#5 Problems with german text

[Anonymous]

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.
