What does this TJ data mean?

$

Hello,

 

I am implementing a PDF parser in Objective-C  (using CoreGraphics API's) that will aid in PDF search. I know that the Tj and TJ operators are used for displaying text, and that to retrieve the text information from a page I should be looking there.

 

The problem comes in when there are weird operands in the TJ operator. Below is one such example:

 

....

[<1C>]TJ

0.7039 0 Td

[<1D>]TJ

....


What does the above highlighted red text data mean, in terms of the semantic information that it contains? During parsing, the output of the above 2 operands are the characters ˝ and˛ respectively. Am I going to have to use the font encoding provided in the Resources dictionary of the page to decipher what these characters semantically mean?

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Michael
