Types and Exceptions

type encoding =
  1. | Raw
  2. | UTF8
  3. | Stripped

Possible output encodings for some function. Raw does no processing at all - the PDF string is output as-is. UTF8 converts loslessly to UTF8. Stripped extracts the unicode codepoints and returns only those which correspond to 7 bit ASCII.

val encode_output : encoding -> string -> string

Encode a string using a given encoding.
