Hello,
I am new to iText and I would like to begin with a big "thank you" to
the creators of this useful tool.
I have a problem with filling the forms with Turkish characters. In the
big picture I am trying to generate a multi-page document by using a
one-page template. Filling out the template page per database row and
adding to the resulting document as described in the book. No problems
with the logic but I simplified the problem by using the simplest form
with the simplest form-filling program:
PdfReader reader = new
PdfReader("/home/levent/Desktop/payslip/simple.pdf");
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new
FileOutputStream("/home/levent/Desktop/payslip/simple_filled.pdf"));
AcroFields form = stamper.getAcroFields();
form.setField("x","ABC-ÇİĞÖŞÜçığöşü");
stamper.setFormFlattening(true);
stamper.close();
If I turn off flattening, I have everything as expected. But if I
flatten, I get my Turkish specific characters lost. They are: I-dot,
G-breve, S-cedilla, dotless-i, g-breve, s-cedilla.
I have prepared the template pdf document with OpenOffice.
I have done some reading in the forum and tried out a number of things
but could not solve the problem. I tried for example exporting the pdf
from OOO-Writer running in Windows and Linux and using different fonts
from both platforms. A number of readers besides acrobat like evince and
foxit but no way.
What I was unable to try was using another editor other than OOO-Writer
and suspect that it may contain the culprit.
What would you suggest?
