Hi Scott
We can add this kind of data without a problem to a Phrase.
The problem must be somewhere in your own code. Without we can't help.
Have you tried reproducing it in a stand alone application ?

Hi
I have a really simple question, I think. I am POSTing a string that a
user enters from JavaScript with a single quote in it to a Java
servlet, and then using that string to construct a iText Phrase
object. When I add the phrase to my document, the string ends with the
single quote, and no more of the string is seen
for example--
"Josh's house"
would only be added to the document as
"Josh"
What am I missing about adding strings with single quotes? Should I
escape them using Javascript escape()? If so I would get a string like
"Joshes%27s house" and how should I unescape the string in Java once
they are posted (should I use StringEscapeUtils.unescapeEcmascript()?
or some other method?)
thanks in advance
Regards
Balder
