Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-3184:
--------------------------------------------

You are using one of the 14 standard fonts and their encoding is limited to 8 bit codes
{quote}
Can't encode U+2019 in font Helvetica. Type 1 fonts only support 8-bit code points
{quote}
You have to follow the WinAnsiEncoding as described in the PDF spec. Use U+0092 instead of U+2019 and everything should work fine. 
Alternatively you can embbed a font using PDType0Font, which supports unicode encoding (as long as the used fonts supports the characters you are using)

> Chars like `'\u2019'` can be handled by the code following the test, so throwing in `PDType1Font.encode` whenever `unicode > 0xff` is wrong. See
