We would like to avoid to embed the fonts, where is not necessary. In the past I reached to fill form fields with UTF-8 strings with Acrobat API, only after I encoded these strings from UTF-8 to UTF-16BE and simply using the font field as Arial. Now we are a bit confused about the font, the encoding and the charset to use. The questions are: Is necessary to encode to UTF-16BE or iText does it? Is there any enconding (UTF-16 should be) that can cover all the charsets? Any suggestion or experience in this problem?
