xpdf vietnamese characters
I am using the command line xpdf tool and I am trying to 'read' some pdfs which contains vietnamese texts. My problem is whatever setting I am trying, I'm getting a wrong output. All pdfs are opened fine in any viewer, but when I am trying to copy/paste the text inside, it is getting wrong.
<br>
I tried to:<br>
 - set output text formatting to any kind of encoding - not working;<br>
 - I tried to build a unicode map extension as they have already in cyrillic but I cought my ears on it - not sure if it worked fine or not, the result is the same. If anyone have a hint/link on how to build this, it would be much appreciated;<br>
 - I tried to manually alter the output file: search for binnary occurences of 'C3A9' - let's say - and replace it with `E1BB99`. I know it's not the brightest solution, but it's the only one I managed to make it work somehow. The reason I am asking this is because I am pretty sure it _has_ to be a more elegant way to solve this.<br>
<br>
Any hints?<br>
<br>
Thank you!
