[poppler] (OT) setting PDF language document

[Leonard Rosenthol]

I believe your string is wrong - it should just be "es".  See ISO 32000-1:2008, 14.9.2.2 referring to RFC 3066.

Subject: [poppler] (OT) setting PDF language document

Hi there,

sorry for the off-topic, but I'm experiencing a problem when setting the
reading language in a PDF document.

I generate the following document with XeLaTeX:

  \documentclass{article}
  \begin{document}
  \special{pdf:put @catalog << /Lang (es-ES) >>}
  Spanish should be the reading language in this document.
  \end{document}

The issue is that for some strange reason acroread versions <7 recognize
the reading document language, but versions above =>7 don't recognize it.

As the PDF 1.7 specification requires, the XeLaTeX document includes the
<</Lang (es-ES)>> tag to the PDF document catalog.

Does anyone if something has changed in acroread >=7? Or am I missing
something here?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo


PS: uncompressing the PDF document with Multivalent, the first lines read:

  %PDF-1.5
  %„†
  1 0 obj<< /Type /Catalog /Lang (es-ES) /Pages 8 0 R>>
  endobj
