Excuse me,
But, Mr. Bruno, IMHO, have you ever tried your code? I also have been tryin
to get Polish characters to display correctly....
Have been puzzling for a week now, asked a Java expert to help, still your
code does NOT display polish characters correctly. I need to stamp a form
with database data over multiple pages, have you got any way of telling the
Stamper to write in a certain code page? You defend your design approach so
fearsly, but I (with me others) find is strange that a document writes out
all existing writers created earlier in a program by document.close() I
thought in java we would code according to standards like MVC, which to my
opinion would lead to some sort of wrapper class instead of a close()
methode...
Anyway, I believe me we have tried all possible code examples, variants etc.
Perhaps it is the underlying OS that prevents your PdfWriter from writing in
an other codepage other than the operating systems native. If I look at your
source code I did notice a write() methode in DocWriter (PdfWriter extends
DocWriter)... which writes using ansi encoding... ansi is windows-1252 is it
not?
If you would like to put out Polish I believe (sorry, I know..) you should
write in code page windows-1250, Cp1250, ISO-8859-2 or UTF-8....
Please can you explain how and perhaps most important, why it is not
possible to write out a PDF in Polish on an operating system (windows) with
native language of say Dutch or English.
Seriously, I have to get this working and was not able too in a weeks time,
pulling just about all my hair.... for my employer it is way more cheaper to
just go out and buy a package like PDFing or set up a decent apache web
server serving pdf documents... So what's up with the internationalization
and the java code ones run anywhere...
And yes, I have read most of the book (first edition) and also read your
explaination on design strategy, however your code for producing Polish text
just is NOT working at all at my (and apparently lots of others too...) at
all.
Awaiting your reply!
Greets,
