Summary: Support "SymbolSetEncoding" for fonts
Key: PDFBOX-6004
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-6004
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: PDModel
Affects Versions: 2.0.33
Reporter: Constantine Dokolas
I've encountered a PDF with a font named "SymbolMT" which defines its encoding
as `SymbolSetEncoding`. Using the debugger app, I get a warning (`Warning
[PDSimpleFont] Unknown encoding: SymbolSetEncoding`) and multiple `No Unicode
mapping ...` warnings.
I couldn't find official documentation for this encoding, but the `pdf.js`
project has support for this encoding implemented [here
|https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/6f052312d625224173db36d3e661657a89cf1865/src/core/encodings.js#L207]
and it looks correct at first glance.
Perhaps it's possible to support this encoding?
Note: I've not tested text extraction with PDFBox to see what codepoints are
generated, but Adobe Acrobat converts those codes to the box char (the
"unknown" char?)
