      When assigning a value to PDField "AI_PLZ_ORT"
      containing a german "Umlaut" (e.g. a/o/u-dieresis ->
      äöü) acrobat reader is displaying a cedilla instead of
      a udieresis. But if you select the Field (click into)
      the the value is show in the right encoding.
      A \374 in PDFDocEncoding (udieresis) is inserted and a
      \374 in MacRomanEncoding (cedilla) is shown.
      The PDF (orig.pdf) has been created on a Mac and the
      Java application to modify the PDF runs under Windows
      XP (PDFUtil.java, PDFUtil.class)


      javac -cp lib/PDFBox-0.7.2.jar -source 1.3 -target 1.3
      PDFUtil.java
      java -cp lib/PDFBox-0.7.2.jar;. PDFUtil
