Well it strikes me that the PDF format itself is not exactly simple or
pretty. It might be convenient that Python 2 allows you, in certain
cases, to "ignore" encoding issues because the main text type is
actually a bytestring, but under the Python 3 model there's no reason
to allow the same shortcuts.

Also, when you say you've never encountered UTF-16 text in PDFs, it
sounds like those people who've never encountered any non-ASCII data in
their programs.

Regards

Antoine.
