>> Regards, >> Dennis Myrén Hi Dennis, Here is the function I just coded to resolve my issue with the Word's specific characters (appearing as # in the resulting PDF). As I said, I did'nt find any complete table of the M$ Word's specific characters, so this function is not complete at all, but it is enought for my problem ! And it's not optimised at all, but it didn't slow my process so much ! A stupid java question, should I make a first test like : if ((source.indexOf(0x85) < 0) && (source.indexOf(0x91) < 0) && (source.indexOf(0x92) < 0) && (source.indexOf(0x93) < 0) && (source.indexOf(0x94) < 0) && (source.indexOf(0x20) < 0) && (source.indexOf(0x96) < 0) && (source.indexOf(0x9C) < 0)) { stBuffer.append(c); } Cheers, Simon //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /** * Clean the MS Word characters in the <code>String</code> object given as parameter. * * @param source The <code>String</code> object to format. * @return A new formatted <code>String</code> object. */ public static String formatWord2K(String source) { String output = source; if ((source.indexOf(0x85) > 0) || (source.indexOf(0x91) > 0) || (source.indexOf(0x92) > 0) || (source.indexOf(0x93) > 0) || (source.indexOf(0x94) > 0) || (source.indexOf(0x20) > 0) || (source.indexOf(0x96) > 0) || (source.indexOf(0x9C) > 0)) { StringBuffer stBuffer = new StringBuffer(); int len = source.length(); for (int i = 0; source != null && i < len; i++) { char c = source.charAt(i); // Replace the Word's (...) character (0x85). if (c == 0x85) { stBuffer.append("..."); } // Replace the Word's (' and ') characters (0x91 et 0x92). else if (c == 0x91 || c == 0x92) { stBuffer.append("'"); } // Replace the Word's (" et ") characters (0x93 et 0x94). else if (c == 0x93 || c == 0x94) { stBuffer.append('"'); } // Replace the Word's (?) character (0x96). else if (c == 0x96) { stBuffer.append("-"); } // Replace the Word's hard space ( ) character (0x20). else if (c == 0x20) { stBuffer.append(" "); } // Replace the Word's (?) character (0x9C). else if (c == 0x9C) { stBuffer.append("oe"); } else { stBuffer.append(c); } } output = stBuffer.toString(); } return output; } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
