[iText-questions] Problem converting text file with Greek characters

Fri, 02 Nov 2012 05:35:12 -0700 


Hi,

I have a problem when trying to convert a simple text file containing Greek 
characters to a pdf file.
To be more specific, when converting this file, the Greek characters as missing 
from resulting pdf, even though I try to use a specific encoding.

This is my code:

'Create PdfWriter

  PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, New 
FileStream(OpenFileDialog1.FileName.Substring(0, 
OpenFileDialog1.FileName.LastIndexOf("\")) + 
_
                                      "\1.pdf", FileMode.Create))
  doc.SetPageSize(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4_LANDSCAPE.Rotate)
  doc.SetMargins(1, 1, 1, 
1)
  doc.Open()
  


'Create file
DimbfTimes AsBaseFont= BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, 
BaseFont.WINANSI, BaseFont.EMBEDDED)
Dim times As Font = New Font(bfTimes, 10)
Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(OpenFileDialog1.FileName, 
Encoding.GetEncoding(1253))
            Try
            Dim line As String
            Do
                line = sr.ReadLine()
                doc.Add(New Paragraph(line, times))
            Loop Until line Is Nothing
            sr.Close()
            doc.Close()
        Catch Ex As Exception
            ' Let the user know what went wrong.
            Console.WriteLine("The file could not be read:")
            Console.WriteLine(Ex.Message)
            sr.Close()
            doc.Close()
        End Try
 
I also attach both the initial file and the PDF file just to identify the 
differences.

Is there any solution for this issue?

Thank you.
