I have also attached the code that I am using to fill in forms. I have verified that #1- at the time the value is set in the code, the debugger shows correct value unicode value for the AcroField. #2 - if I don not "flatten" the fields then "generatedPdf.pdf" show unicode text correctly. So I don't think it is font issue until unless there is a special requirement for an additional font setup before "Flattening" . Is it? -- Aftab On Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 12:59 AM, 1T3XT info <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Aftab Mahmood wrote: > > When I fill in a pdf form using itext and then flatten it by > "stamp.setFormFlattening(true)" . then resulting pdf does not show > Unicode text in any pdf reader.

I can't tell for sure, I don't know what you're doing. Nor do I know what you get as result. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
