[jira] Commented: (LEGAL-36) CMaps for PDF CJK Fonts

["Jukka Zitting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-36?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12719239#action_12719239 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on LEGAL-36:
------------------------------------

For the record, I've created a Maven bundle containing these CMaps and the font metrics discussed in LEGAL-35 and asked for that bundle to be uploaded to the central Maven repository. This way our projects can easily use these files without having them in Apache svn. See http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVENUPLOAD-2485 for the upload request.

> The incubating Apache PDFBox project embeds CMap files (character code mappings) for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) fonts in PDF documents.  The files are available from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/font/#pcfi and come with license headers like this:
>     Copyright 1990-2001 Adobe Systems Incorporated.
>     All Rights Reserved.
>     Patents Pending
>     NOTICE: All information contained herein is the property
>     of Adobe Systems Incorporated.
>     Permission is granted for redistribution of this file
>     provided this copyright notice is maintained intact and
>     that the contents of this file are not altered in any
>     way from its original form.
>     PostScript and Display PostScript are trademarks of
>     Adobe Systems Incorporated which may be registered in
>     certain jurisdictions.
> The license grants rights to redistribute the files, but does not allow any modifications. Is it OK for Apache PDFBox to redistribute these files unmodified?
> Having these files included in PDFBox is highly convenient as they allow PDFBox to work OOTB with PDF documents that contain CJK fonts. Also, I can't think of cases where a user would want to modify the CMap files.
