There are two questions here:
- you are converting something from somewhere and the end result is a
Java String
- you take the Java String above and show it in the PDF
The first question has nothing to do with iText and whatever you do
iText is only interested in a real Unicode Java String. If you can
disply your string or not in a web page is irrelevant, your string may
match the web page encoding and not be Unicode at all.
