forge_fdf generates weird characters

[lc-thomas]

Forge_fdf generates weird characters in keys and values of the data I give it.
Since it changes the keys, the output pdf forms aren't modified.

When manually removing these characters, it works very well.

Characters as seen by notepad++ :

Here's my little (and dirty) workaround :

def smart_encode_str(s):
"""Create a UTF-16 encoded PDF string literal for s."""
try:
utf16 = s.encode('utf_16_be')
except AttributeError: # ints and floats
utf16 = str(s).encode('utf_16_be')
safe = utf16.replace(b'\x00)', b'\x00)').replace(b'\x00(', b'\x00(').replace(b'\x00','')
return b''.join((codecs.BOM_UTF16_BE, safe))[2:]

Seems to still be an issue:

Is there a quick fix for this?

How does this look now that #16 was merged?
