Bugs item #4014, was opened at 2009-04-08 21:24 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Andrey Paramonov (pent) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Drops characters from included pdf figure Category: PDF inclusion Group: None Resolution: Wont Fix Initial Comment: To reproduce: 1) Download attached file. It is a pdf figure containing some non-latin characters. Note that the used font subset is embedded. 2) Create the following minimal LaTeX document: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[T2A]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[russian]{babel} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \includegraphics{fig} \end{document} 3) pdflatex it. Open the resulting pdf file and note that all non-latin characters have disappeared.

This is not a bug of pdftex.
