Supported character encodings

The Assembler service supports the character encodings described in the following table. These character encoding are used to convert a string or name, as it appears in the encoding used in the encoding specified for the Bookmarks XML document, into encoding in the PDF document.

Depending on the character encodings available through your installation’s Java Virtual Machine, the Assembler service can also support additional encodings, as described in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Specification, 1.0. Examples of such additional character encodings are ISO-8859-1, ISO-10646-UCS-2, and ISO-2022.

 

Encoding names	Description
ASCII	ISO/IEC 8859-1:1998 Information technology -- 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets -- Part 1: Latin alphabet No. 1, published by ISO (not available online)
BASE64	The Base16, Base32, and Base64 Data Encodings, RFC 3548 (http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc3548.txt)
UTF-8	The Unicode Standard, Version 4.0, (http://unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/ch03.pdf#G7404)
UTF-16	The Unicode Standard, Version 4.0, (http://unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/ch03.pdf#G7404)
PDFDocEncoding	PDF Reference, version 1.6, (http://www.adobe.com/go/pdf_developer)

The following illustration shows how the file name is converted from the character encoding of the XML file (UTF-8) into the character encoding specified in the Name_enc attribute. The resulting encoded name is then incorporated into the PDF document, along with an indication of its character encoding, BASE64.
