Hi,
Thanks for the fast response.
I would like to replace a segment [[MY_NAME]] with chinese, european or korean
name depending.
How would i be able to replace the [[MY_NAME]] with the UTF8 name and still be
able to convert to PDF?
I have tried for some time only to get rubbish name.
I have attached my codes and html for reference.
Thank you for your assistance.
Thanks.

Hi,
Is it possible to convert HTML with chinese and european characters in UTF8 to
PDF? You need a font that supports the characters you want to put in the PDF.
If you have that you can display anything. You could even make your own font.
@see Chapter 2 point 2.2.2 (page 26) of iText in Action 2 for explanations on
UTF-8
How you read the characters as bytes from your source is up to you and depends
on your programming language/system
Could you please kindly provide some sample codes for this? Read a string as
UTF-8 in java:
String str = new String(yourbytes, "UTF-8");
Thanks.
