this issue needs revision as well. In the beginning there were requests to move chars in range [0, 32) to higher slots if possible, so I introduced \pdfmovechars. I don't use this feature myself, and it seems that almost nobody else does, thus the bug slipped out without being noticed for quite a long time.

more see in Thanh's original post. Nobody followed up. What to do? I never used this, either, nor understand for what it would do good. Should we remove \pdfmovechars to close this bug?

Hi Hartmut, AFAIK, \pdfmovechars had been introduced to circumvent bugs in ancient versions of Acrobug. I never needed this and I doubt that anyone still uses such an old version. On the other hand, if the nonfree Acrobat is affected, one should not forget that some people do not have the money to upgrade whenever Adobe makes a new release. I think that Hans Hagen's opinion is quite valuable, he has the best overview.
