Excuse me,But, Mr. Bruno, IMHO, have you ever tried your code?
Of course, see: http://1t3xt.info/examples/results/in_action/chapter09/peace.pdf This is a test file for all known languages. As you can see Hindic languages can't be rendered correctly. There's also a problem with exotic languages such as Aramaic because I don't have a font program to draw the glyphs.
Have been puzzling for a week now, asked a Java expert to help, still your code does NOT display polish characters correctly.
That's not an excuse. Many developers on this list have succeeded.
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?
How can you not define a code page? You create a BaseFont, don't you?
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...
That doesn't work if you create documents with 150,000+ pages. Believe me, that's not unusual.
Anyway, I believe me we have tried all possible code examples, variants etc.
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....
Yes, you need another code page.
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.
It's not because it doesn't work for you that it doesn't work for me.
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 internationalizationand 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.
See the attachment. I've copy pasted the code you forwarded, and guess what: IT WORKS!!!
