Hello,
I am trying to fill a textfield in an acroform designed with Adobe Designer
7.0
Ive read many mailinglist posts related to this setfield method. They are
from the year 2005 and appear various comments about unicode is not fully
supported in form fields..
I am wondering if it is corrected by now or if there is a known workaround.
The problem I am facing is related to spanish accentuated characters, that
get cut when filling the form with setfield.
Here is the code I am using:
Dim reader As New PdfReader("MyFormToFill.pdf")
Dim stamp1 As New PdfStamper(reader, New FileStream("MyFormFilled.pdf",
FileMode.Create))
Dim form1 As AcroFields = stamp1.AcroFields
form1.SetField("txtBox1", "àticó 1º1ª")
Always get the resulting form with the text tic 11 in the textbox.
I also tried this other pieces of code with the same results.
A)
Dim bf As BaseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA,
BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED)
cb.BeginText()
cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, 10)
cb.SetTextMatrix(aSingles(1), aSingles(2))
cb.ShowText("àticó 1º1ª")
cb.EndText()
B)
Dim ph As New Phrase("àticó 1º1ª",
FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 10))
ColumnText.ShowTextAligned(cb, Element.ALIGN_LEFT, ph, aSingles(1) + 10,
aSingles(2) + 10, 0, PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_LTR, 0)
I verified the font selected in the designer for "MyFormToFill.pdf", when
opened with acrobat reader, lets me introduce the text "àticó 1º1ª" as is.
Hopefully I am doing something wrong and setfield should be working, please
give me some light..
Thank you,
David
