[jira] [Closed] (PDFBOX-2009) PDFStreamEngine.processEncodedText incorrectly handling UTF-16 text with BOM FEFF

["John Hewson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2009?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

John Hewson closed PDFBOX-2009.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Not a Problem

It turns out that the section in the PDF spec about the BOM does not apply to  content stream text - instead it applies to bookmarks, annotations, etc. The code size of content stream text should actually be determined by the CMap of the current Font.

> When having a text print operation like
> <FEFF21222193219103B103A003A6> Tj
> than the PDFStreamEngine.processEncodedText does not handle this correctly.
> Am I correct that if a BOM was determined, the codelength should be set to 2 (and not be changed)? Or should alternatively simply the BOM be skipped?
> It may be related to PDFBOX-920
