That's super easy to do in java and iText. Your problem is that the built in font
Helvetica doesn't have all the characters you want. You must use an external font,
embedded, to do it. Soemthing like this:
BaseFont arial = BaseFont.createFont("c:\\windows\\fonts\\arial.ttf", BaseFont.CP1250,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
Font font = new Font(arial, 12, Font.NORMAL);
document.add(new Paragraph("Nazdar Zdeňko. ěščřžýáíé E\u011bE", font));
