[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-1236) Glyph Error in PDF/A that passes comercial validators

------------------------------------

Hi,

Here is a quick feedback about this issue.

I think the problem comes from the management of the "toUnicode" CMap.

According to the code, this CMap seems to override the Encoding CMap. 
Because the toUnicode doesn't contain the character code and that the Encoding entry is overrode, the PDFont returns an invalid CID.

I have commented the "toUnicode" CMap initialization and the PDF is considered as a valid PDF/A.

I need to read the PDF Reference about the CID lookup to propose a fix. 
I hope to have enough time this week end to work on it.

BR,
Eric
