Obviously you didn't read the book: http://itextpdf.com/book
You could have saved 6 hours (which is worth quite a handful of money), just by taking a look at chapter 11.
For instance: http://examples.itextpdf.com/results/part3/chapter11/encoding_example.pdf
The key concepts are "encoding" and "using the right font".
Using the right font means you need a font that knows how to display special characters.
For instance: Helvetica won't be able to print all Czech glyphs, whereas Arial probably will.
Encoding means:
- if you have special characters in your code (which I wouldn't recommend):
-> save the file using the right encoding
-> compile the code using the right encoding
- if you get Strings with special characters from a database:
-> make sure your database uses the right encoding
-> make sure you query the database using the right encoding
See p26 of chapter 2: http://manning.com/lowagie2/samplechapter2.pdf
- if you create a Font, make sure you specify the right encoding
-> Use the one for Slovak/Czech text if you want to use a simple font
-> Use IDENTITY_H (recommended) if you want to use Unicode
Using the right encoding isn't difficult, but you can get it wrong on many places.
