Description Ken Sharp 2010-02-11 06:44:56 UTC 
A DOCINFO pdfmark which contains UTF-16BE text strings for (eg) Author emits
garbage in the XMP metadata when producing PDF/A.

In addition the parsing of PostScript escapes ('/(', '/)', '//' '/xxx') is
incorrect in that escaped octal numbers consume the character following the
octal digits, and the other escapes simply aren't recognised.
