What font are you using for the field? If you don't supply a Unicode-enabled font, then you won't get Unicode text (such as your special characters).

Hello, i wrote simple method to add TextField to position, with specified text. I have problem, when text is in utf-8 coding with some diacritical characters (ľščťžřě). Acrobat reader render bad these chars, also my Servlet got bad data from acro button Submit. Is some possibility how to fix these diacritical characters - methods: ff.setValueAsString(text); and tf.setText(text); Here is my code: static public void addTextField(PdfStamper stamper,String name, String text, Rectangle rect, int page) { PdfFormField ff = PdfFormField.createTextField(stamper.getWriter(), false,false,0); ff.setFieldName(name); ff.setValueAsString(text); TextField tf = new TextField(stamper.getWriter(), rect, null); tf.setBackgroundColor(Color.gray); tf.setBorderColor(Color.black); tf.setBorderWidth(1); tf.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_LEFT); tf.setText(text); tf.setOptions(TextField.READ_ONLY); PdfFormField field1 = tf.getTextField(); field1.setFieldFlags(TextField.READ_ONLY); ff.addKid(field1); ff.setFieldFlags(PdfFormField.FF_READ_ONLY); stamper.addAnnotation(ff, page); } Regards, Pavol Behul. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
