Hi John,
To add to what Neil correctly suggests:
Assuming you are using Windows Code Page 1252 (yes, remember those things),
0x80 is likely to be a Euro sign.
0x9h is not a valid character, but could be:
0x91: left single quote
0x92: right single quote
0x93: left double quote
0x94: right double quote
... and there are several others.
Try saving your PDF file as UTF-8 or any other Unicode encoding.
Neil is correct in saying the U+0080 - U+009f are control codes. they are not
handled.
I trust this helps.
With best regards,
James.

Hello,
When I translate texts from pdf documents I find a lot of characters for which
the Unified English Braille (UEB) tables do not have translations and that are
represented as 'xhhhh'
The most frequent are x0080 and various x009h where the h is a hex digit. I
don't know how these characters should be translated.
Will some of them be fixed in the upcoming release?
Thanks,
John
