Hi there,
i'm working with pyhtonnet to use features from itextsharp ( a dotnet
pdf library).
the purpose of the app is to fill out pdf forms from within a
turbogears appserver.
i tried several combinations of encodings and passing str/unicode/
SystemString
types to a utility function that sets the current pdf-form value with
no success.
i wrote a c# sample app that loads utf-8 encoded data and processes
the pdf.
then i ported it to ironpython with no problem (selecting data from
sql-db and
setting form-values in the pdfstamper).
due to the lack of several essential std-lib modules i decided to use
pythonnet
with mono within a linux/ubuntu server to access the itext library.
basically everything is working - except that there is a problem with
german
umlauts when passing values from result-sets to the dotnet library.
the library methods dont accept pure str objects .. when i use unicode
(correctly encoded)
or SystemString objects the non-ascii chars wont display in the pdf or
the resulting
pdf is invalid (probably due to wrong encoding).
i know that ironpython has a different string implementation .. is
there a way how i can
access the dotnet library that behaves similar to ironpythons
implementation ?
any hints would be greatly appreciated
thanks!
yours Ulrich Eck
