Bugs item #4321, was opened at 2010-11-25 15:21 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Heiko Oberdiek (oberdiek) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Illegal entry in bfrange block in ToUnicode CMap Category: None Group: None Resolution: None Initial Comment: Hello, pdfTeX complains Error: Illegal entry in bfrange block in ToUnicode CMap for valid cmap entries, when a PDF file is included. The CMap entries are, for example: 1 beginbfrange <0041><0041><0041> endbfrange The error disappears in case of 1 beginbfrange <41><41><0041> endbfrange The error is in function CharCodeToUnicode::parseCMap1 in file libs/xpdf-3.02/xpdf/CharCodeToUnicode.cc In case of poppler the problem is already reported with patch: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler-bugs/2010-April/004931.html The appended test file can be processed by "pdftex --ini", "pdftex" or "pdflatex".

The "A" of the input file should then get converted to "B" by copy&paste. This works for the line <41><41><0042> with AR7/Linux, however it fails ("A" instead of "B") in case of <0041><0041><0042> The PDF specification shows in section "5.9 Extraction of Text Content" entries with four hexadecimal digits. Can someone bring some light to this obscurity?
