Interesting. The last time i played with encoding vectors [actually for
forms the framework is already there] and forcing them into the file,
acrobat did fail hopelessly. [there are some low level pdf commands that
can be used to force glyphs in the file too]

The bookmarks, comments, etc all use pdfdoc encoding and/or unicode, and i
found comments more easy to test. So, once we've solved the problem for
one, we solved it for all. This solution is supposed to be general -) 

What is needed, is a encoding file with accented chars and commands. Of
course there is always \bookmark to overload a title. 

I'll have a look at your file.
