[iText-questions] unicode 3.1/hkscs support
Hello all, I am reposting this question from the forum. The current CJKFont does not seem to include support for HKSCS (HongKong Supplementary character set) characters, and hence I am forced to embed a TTF. Unfortunately, the TTF does not contain support for other characters such as latin1 and basic punctuations, I've tried using MS Arial Unicode but it contains only chracters until unicode 2.0, I am generating the pdf based on the contents of the database, so it is almost impossible to pre-determine the font to be used. Is there a solution to this problem? will it be possible to modify something in the code to allow it to specify two or more fonts in a call to new Chunk() or new Phrase() such that it will automatically search the character in font2 if it is no in font1?

You have three options: - If your pdf is to be read with Acrobat 5 with the Adobe CJK font pack then all that is required is to tweak the font supplement from Adobe-CNS1-0 to Adobe-CNS1-3. I'll have this in the next release, it will still work in Acrobat 4.0 but without the new characters, of course. - your font contains the characters from Unicode block \uff00 (Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms). See http://www.lowagie.com/iText/faq.html#preformattedtext. - Otherwise it's just a matter of programming although I must say that a font that doesn't include \u0020-\u007e characters is really weird. The sequence is as follows: 1 - create two fonts, the HK and TIMES for example. 2 - read the text from the database 3 - divide the text in chunks each one using a font depending on the character range. 4 - assemble the chunks into a phrase and use the phrase.

[iText-questions] PDF Download saves the HTML page instead of PDF
Title: PDF Download saves the HTML page instead of PDF HI, I am trying to save the pdf file by popping up a Save As dialogue box. This works fine with IE 6.0 and IE 5.5 (basic) but in IE 5.5 SP1,2 the browser opens a Save as Dialogue box and saves the HTML page of the calling page, (In my case the frame-set page). I am using the following code. Can someone help me fix this one. This is urgent please. document = new Document(PageSize.A4.rotate(), 10, 10, 10, 10); // Create a Writer that listens to the document and writes the document into the PDF. PdfWriter.getInstance(document, bytesToWrite); // Open the document. document.open(); // Call method(to set data) with document and 2D array of data as arguments. loadDocument();//loads the document object. document.close(); response.setHeader(Expires, -1); response.setContentType(application/pdf); response.setHeader(Content-Disposition, attachment;filename=+sCompleteFileName); response.setContentLength(bytesToWrite.size()); ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream(); bytesToWrite.writeTo(out); bytesToWrite.flush(); out.flush(); bytesToWrite.close(); out.close(); Thanks, Akshat Jain
[iText-questions] Adding a Phrase in PdfPTableEvent.tableLayout()
Hi! I'm looking for a way to add a Phrase (or some Chunks) to a document within PdfPTableEvent.tableLayout(), so the real problem seems to be adding a Phrase or Chunks to the PdfContentByte object.

RE: [iText-questions] Line wrapping
You can fix that by doing some programming. It's not that difficult to eliminate some CR from a text string.

[iText-questions] barcodeEAN 8 checksum digit calculation
I have tried to use the barcodeEAN class to generate barcodes in type EAN 8. I have tried to pass in codes without the checksum digit and I kept on getting the ExceptionConverter exception. I have even set the setGenerateChecksum() to true. This didn't help either. Any suggestions?

RE: [iText-questions] barcodeEAN 8 checksum digit calculation
You must pass the 8 digits to the method. If you want to calculate the checksum use barcodeEAN.calculateEANParity(), see the javadoc. An example: BarcodeEAN codeEAN = new BarcodeEAN(); codeEAN.setCodeType(codeEAN.EAN8); codeEAN.setCode(55123457); Image imageEAN = codeEAN.createImageWithBarcode(cb, null, null); Best Regards, Paulo Soares -Original Message- From: Dogan, Bulent [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 17:33 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [iText-questions] barcodeEAN 8 checksum digit calculation I have tried to use the barcodeEAN class to generate barcodes in type EAN 8.
