Description

Hello,

I´m trying to parse the metadata from different files, the library works great but in some documents give me this error:

Missing encoding data for: "MacExpertEncoding"

You can access one of the document in:

http://www.statistik.rlp.de/fileadmin/dokumente/berichte/C1013_201500_1j_L.pdf

I get this error in the demo too.

Do you know a solution?

Thank you
