>
>
> Hi,
> I try to convert XML file to PDF and content of XML file is
> UTF-8 using Java and itext library.
> Environment - Windows XP/Windows 2003
>
> I prepared PDF file in Adobe LiteCycle Designer as Adobe
> form, added fields, set them as ready only.
> I used the sample of itext code to stamp content in the PDF
> file and everything worked fine.
> When I tried to do the same with Japanese characters, I got issues.
> 1. I used Arial font in the field, the code ran fine but
> content is not displayed.
> 2. I modified the code and added
> BaseFont bf =
> BaseFont.createFont("c:\\windows\\fonts\\msgothic.ttc,1",
> BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
> or
> BaseFont bf =
> BaseFont.createFont("c:/windows/fonts/arialuni.ttf",
> BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
> (both fonts are present),
> and
>
> form1.setFieldProperty("who", "textfont", bf, null);
> form1.setField("who", nodeValue);
>
> the result - Japanese characters are not displayed.
>
> 3. I modified Adobe form and select Arial Uni or MS Gothic
> fonts but the code fails , sending Document exception
>
> Font 'KozMinPro-Regular' with 'UniJIS-UCS2-H' is not recognized..
>
>
> Font 'HYSMyeongJoStd-Medium' with 'UniKS-UCS2-H' is not recognized..
>
> 4. I modified Adobe form and select Helvetica font - the
> code works but Japanese characters are not displayed.
