Description Jakub Wilk 2009-08-01 06:34:38 UTC

(Tested with poppler 0.10.6.)

pdfinfo does not properly encode Unicode characters outside the BMP:

$ locale charmap
UTF-8

$ wget -q 'http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;att=1;bug=525309' -O utf16nonbmp.pdf

$ pdfinfo utf16nonbmp.pdf | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-32 >/dev/null
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 16
