See attached screenshot. The PDF document was created in Kaddressbook, so maybe the bug is there.

A screenshot is not really helpful... please provide a sample document showing the issue.

PDF file created with Kaddressbook

This seems to be a bug in Kaddressbook, not in Okular. The bug shows up when opening in Adobe Reader as well.

The single contact in this document has the name "בדיקה" and the phone number "999".

I am reassigning to Kaddressbook, even though I know that application is being rewritten from scratch. I will recheck this issue in the new Kaddressbook as soon as there is a version that I can install. Thanks!

Hej,

KAddressBook just calls QPrinter::setDocName( i18n( "Address Book" ) ) where
the document name is passed further to QPdfEnginePrivate::writeInfo where the
following code is executed:
  xprintf("<<\n"
          "/Title(%s)\", title.toUtf8().constData());

According to PDF spec UTF-16 or PDFDocEncoding should be used instead of UTF-8,
so Qt is the culprit.

Reported as QTBUG-7249

Ciao,
Tobias
