[PDFBox-user] java.io.IOException: Unknown encoding for ...

[Dmitry G. <DGo...@at...>]

Hi,

I've encountered these errors when dealing with Japanese PDF documents (stack trace below).  I was wondering if any work is underway to enable PDFBox to deal with encodings such as 90ms-RKSJ-H and GBK-EUC-H.  From looking at the latest code, the currently supported set only seems to include

COSName.MAC_ROMAN_ENCODING
COSName.PDF_DOC_ENCODING
COSName.STANDARD_ENCODING
COSName.WIN_ANSI_ENCODING

(by looking at the EncodingManager code).

I'd appreciate any info.

Thanks
