Hi,
If pdf document is created with the tool like OO or some pdf_printer,
the special characters are shown properly in both pdf_viewer and in
PDFEdit.
However, if I try to edit such document with PDFEdit, these characters
(visible in the document) are not visible in edit frame of PDFEdit.
They look like blanks, or some control chars.
In the other hand, there is no way I can create new national language
characters that will show in the document either. When I type them,
they show in the edit frame, but they do not show in the document. This
"game" has the same outcome, regardless of what font is chosen for OS
system level or as PDFEdit default.
Is there any reference example or something which works that I can
relay on - to start with?
What do you recommend to do?

Hello,
Hi,
There seems to be something that precludes from showing/seeing foreign language
fonts (like Croatian) in PDFEdit created document. That something could be my
lack of understanding about how to configure/use system, or something else, but
the bottom-line is that I cannot create desired document.
Does this mean that you event can't see text with special characters in
such documents (or it relates only to editing)?
My system is Ubuntu
8.04 64 bit and I use UTF-8 system font, which BTW fully meets all my
expectations, to create documents from OpenOffice/Thunderbird/Bluefish/Gedit in
several different languages, including using special Greek symbols, etc.
However, this is not working for me from PDFEdit, even though I changed
Tools/Options/Character encoding to utf8, or (anything else). Importing system
font did also not cause any significant difference.
An observation I had is that the font is showing properly only in a text field
in Dynamic menu and in the text field in Parameter view - but it is not showing
in WYSIWYG window of the main document. By "showing properly" I refer only to
foreign national language specific symbols and letters. Any other ANSI character
is shown exactly as expected.
This is known issue and it is climbing to the top of the priority
because more and more users hits it. I hope that we will be able to
provide a fix ASAP.
Another thing is that if you export document from OpenOffice, than it
is shown properly with PDFEdit, yet it cannot be modified in
reasonable manner, as the font is invisible in Dynamic menu and
Parameter view.
Yes, OO generates really hard to manipulate pdfs. It changes charmaps and so
on.
Thanks in advance!
