---------------------------------------
Summary: Glyphs don't appear properly in form with embedded type1
font with DictionaryEncoding
Key: PDFBOX-4152
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4152
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: AcroForm
Affects Versions: 2.0.8
Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
Attachments: PDFBOX-1084-mod-after.pdf, PDFBOX-1084-mod-before.pdf
I'm trying to reproduce a problem mentioned in the user mailing list
("International characters only show correctly when form field is selected")
with a confidential file that isn't shared. We know from screenshots is that it
is a type 1 font with DictionaryEncoding. The only file I found is the one from
PDFBOX-1084.
The original file was changed with this code so that all text fields have an
embedded font with DictionaryEncoding that isn't used in the original form:
{code:java}
try (PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(new File("PDFBOX-1084.pdf")))
{
doc.getDocumentCatalog().setViewerPreferences(null);
PDAcroForm acroForm = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
for (PDField field : acroForm.getFieldTree())
{
if (field instanceof PDTextField )
{
PDTextField tf = (PDTextField) field;
String da = tf.getDefaultAppearance();
if (da.startsWith("/HeBo"))
{
tf.setDefaultAppearance("/HelveticaNeue-Italic" +
da.substring(5));
field.setValue(field.getPartialName());
}
}
}
doc.save("PDFBOX-1084-mod.pdf");
}
{code}
On the modified file, this code was run:
{code:java}
acroForm.getField("f1_09(0)").setValue("Stanisław äöüÄÖÜß");
{code}
PDFBox shows the field content but the ł is hard to see. Adobe Reader doesn't
show the ł, and when clicking on the field, it shows the ł but not the german
umlauts. Amusingly, if I copy & paste the mess that I get, it's umlauts again.
