It's your right to think that. That doesn't mean I am a cruel person. > Please explain him the what are the features of unicode which is > supported in itext? I think that is fair enough for him. Why don't I just send him a free copy of my book? Oh wait, I can't do that: I have signed a contract that I wouldn't do that. > I need to know which are the languages are supported in itext using > unicode That's the same as asking: "Which languages are supported in Unicode?" I'm sorry, but that's like asking: "Which water is wet?" If you feed iText with the right Unicode characters and a font program that knows how to render the corresponding glyphs, then I suppose this language is supported in iText. Please read the tutorial on fonts. If the free docs aren't sufficient, read chapter 8 of the book. Of course, there are some pitfalls. For instance: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean can be written in vertical columns from top to bottom, organized from right to left. Hebrew and Arabic are written in horizontal lines from right to left. Moreover Arabic characters often need to be ligaturized. All this is supported AND documented in iText. This is what I talk about in the first part of chapter 9. Some languages like Hindi also need ligatures, but up till now, nobody from India has done the effort of contributing code that makes these ligatures. This doesn't mean iText doesn't support Hindi: - if you provide the characters in the right order, the text will render correctly - you can work around the problem using PdfGraphics2D as explained in chapter 12 of the book. If you look at the book, all this is explained from p223-282 and from p362-368. Is it cruel to say I can't compress 67 pages in a mail with the risk that even that doesn't answer the question? > and can i used to implement javascript in unicode? That's not in the book, because it belongs in the API: http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/pdf/PdfAction.html#javaScript(java.lang.String,%20com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter,%20boolean) Let's see what it says: iText supports JavaScript in Unicode, BUT: "Note that the internal Acrobat JavaScript engine does not support unicode, so this may or may not work for you." By the way: the eBook version will be ready any moment now: http://www.manning.com/affiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=223_53 br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
