NameValueDescription
WinAnsiEncoding1Windows Code Page 1252, often called the “Windows ANSI” encoding.This is the standard Windows encoding for Latin text in Western writing systems.PDF has a predefined encoding named WinAnsiEncoding that can be used with both Type 1 and TrueType fonts.
MacRomanEncoding2Mac OS standard encoding for Latin text in Western writing systems. PDF has a predefined encoding named MacRomanEncoding that can be used with both Type 1 and TrueType fonts.
MacExpertEncoding3An encoding for use with expert fonts—ones containing the expert character set.PDF has a predefined encoding named MacExpertEncoding.Despite its name, it is not a platform-specific encoding; however, only certain fonts have the appropriate character set for use with this encoding.No such fonts are among the standard 14 predefined fonts.
StandardEncoding4Adobe standard Latin-text encoding. This is the built-in encoding defined in Type 1 Latin-text font programs(but generally not in TrueType font programs). PDF does not have a predefined encoding named StandardEncoding.However, it is useful to describe this encoding, since a font’s built-in encoding can be used as the base encoding from which differences are specified in an encoding dictionary.

PDFDocEncoding7Encoding for text strings in a PDF document outside the document’s content streams. This is one of two encodings (the other being Unicode) that can be used to represent text strings; see Section, “Text String Type.” PDF does not have a predefined encoding named PDFDocEncoding; it is not customary to use this encoding to show text from fonts.
