mapNumericCharNames
Map numeric character names to Unicode.
[read/write property]
mapNumericCharNames([out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL *map)
mapNumericCharNames([in] VARIANT_BOOL map)
By default, XpdfText will attempt to map the numeric character names
sometimes used in font subsets to Unicode. This often results in
usable text, but sometimes it generates gibberish. Setting this
property to false disables this behavior and tells XpdfText to discard
text in fonts with questionable encodings.
This setting is global - it applies to all PDF handles.
VB:
pdf.mapNumericCharNames = False
