Re: [iText-questions] Slightly OT: Does anyone have a way to
determine the language or even codepage of a PDF?

Thanks for the suggestion.  I had thought about that.  But what if the document is PDF-Image (doesn't have a significant text "layer")? 

        Then you won't find any fonts in the document.   (keep in mind that a PDF isn't a single thing - each object on each page is unique).


Then I'm just going to have a lot of binary stream data in there with very little (if any) notation of fonts, right?

        Nope - you won't be bothering with the images.


Puzzling stuff... :(

        Not really if you read the PDF Reference to better understand how a PDF is made up.
