[iText-questions] About CJK OpneType font embed
Hello all, iText can embed European character OpenType font, but cannot CJK OpenType font. I would like to know if iText is going to support it.

Re: [iText-questions] Add content to copied pdf
One other question related to PdfCopy. Is it possible to extract only form field from PDF file and place it to currently generating PDF? With regards KuMi It's possible with a lot of work. You'd have to deal directly with stream contents and dictionaries as all the changes would be in-place.

Re: [iText-questions] About form field
Thank you Paulo About password field; I added the folllowing code to my program; field.setFlags(PdfFormField.FF_PASSWORD); But this code produces /Ff 8192. I think right flag shoudl be /Ff 12591104. To get right flag, Do I have to do anything else? KuMi That's the way form fields work in Reader, you have to duplicate the behavior in the stream. The full Acrobat has an annotation handler that can get by without the stream. For the password you need to set the flags: PdfFormField.setFieldFlags(PdfFormField.FF_PASSWORD); Best Regards, Paulo Soares -Original Message- From:KuMi [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent:Tuesday, January 07, 2003 6:28 To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:[iText-questions] About form field Hello all, I hava a couple of question about PdfFormField. Any work around or suggestions would be helpful. I am trying to create a password-type text form field with border and fill. My code is like this; ... field.setMKBorderColor( new GrayColor(0.5f) ); field.setMKBackgroundColor( new GrayColor(0.8f) ); ... But generated PDF file does not show border line nor background color on screen, but border and fill property of the field are checked. PDF source is like this; ... 4 0 obj /Matrix [1 0 0 1 0 0] /Resources /Font /F1 2 0 R /ProcSet [/PDF /Text] /Subtype /Form /Length 89 /FormType 1 /BBox [0 0 171 19] /Type /XObject stream /Tx BMC q 2 2 167 15 re W n BT /F1 12 Tf 0 g 1 0 0 1 4 5 Tm (Some start text)Tj ET Q EMC endstream endobj ... I added by hand something like 0.8 g 0 0 171 19 re f 0.5 G 1 w 0.5 0.5 170 18 re s to stream for border and fill, and got the right PDF. So my question is, is there any iText method that gives me the same result? One other question, I tried the following code to create a password field; PdfFormField field = PdfFormField.createTextField(writer, false, true, 0); But I cannot get the field with password property on. Is there anything I should do other than this code to make password field? Thank you in advance.

Re: [iText-questions] About form field
Thank you Phillip So, if you wait for the new release, you should do: field.setFlags(PdfFormField.FF_PASSWORD | 4194304); or if you do not, you should do: field.setFlags(PdfFormField.FF_PASSWORD | PdfFormField.FF_DONOTSPELLCHECK); I tried field.setFlags(PdfFormField.FF_PASSWORD | 4194304 | 8388608); to get 12591104. But this code still produce /Ff 8192. Instead, I found next line is /F 12591104. I don't know what the key /F mean in this case. So I am still in trouble.

Re: [iText-questions] about OpenType font
Hello Pauro, Thank you for answering my question. But I don't really understand it. I tried your sample of 'cff_font.java', and generated PDF has subsetted font. Next, I replaced font of 'liz.otf' with 'KozMinStd-Heavy' (Japanese OpneType font) , but I got an error. Does your answer mean that OpenType font of European languages are OK, but not CJK OpneType font? Best Regards, KuMi I was expecting this question. The answer is no. I don't think is too difficult to get the right CID from the font but the problem is that no subseting is made for type1 fonts and CFF fonts are nothing more than one or more type1 fonts wrapped in another package. I don't see the logic of embedding the full character set of a CJK font, the size of which start at 4M. By the way, I don't expect to support anytime soon type1 subseting. It's postscript and I developed a special hatred for stack-based languages from the days of HP calculators and Forth.

Re: [iText-questions] Unicode 3.1/hkscs support
Hello all, Does the follwing mean iText will support Adobe-Japan1-3 Character Collection too? If so I will be very happy as a Japanese iText user. I sometimes need to use pre-rotated latin1 glyphs in vertical line. Thank you, KuMi 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.

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?

Re: [iText-questions] font HGSeikaishotaiPRO
I guess it's a truetype font by RICHO and "HGSeikaishotaiPRO" is not a file
name but font name.
So, file name of the font is needed and encoding shold be "IDENTITY_H".

KuMi

iText only supports TTF CJK fonts, beside the ones from the Adobe font pack.
What's the format of your font?

[iText-questions] Future of iText
Hi, I'm using iText and it works fine. I'd like to know the future of iText. Is there any plan that iText is going to support; - right to left direction writing? - top to bottom direction writing for CJK languages? - embeding OpneType with PS glyph? (not TrueType glyph) (I want to embed special font that TrueType does not have) - way of input for special character that UNICODE does not hava its code but CID or OpenType have one - any other multi-ligual feature?

Re: [iText-questions] How to specify link with japanese chars.
Hello all, I'm a Japanese iText user. I will be glad if the follwings are a clue as to the solution of the problem of Japanese chars. I do not know if iText will produce PdfString object represented by hexadecimal strings which must be enclosed within angle brackets and . So, I tried to make a change to a line in a pdf source which is generated by iText. Changed result is as follows: /F 8341 2f 8343 2e 70 64 66 Spaces in angle brackets are meaningless for PDF Viewer. I put them just for making it easy to visually recognize each characters. So, even if there are no spaces, you can get the same result. Codes in angle brackets are Shift-JIS code which is a major encoding for Japanese characters. 8341 2f 8343 2e 70 64 66 represents a relative path. Each Shift-JIS code represents as follows; 8341 - Japanese Katakana a (30a2 in Unicode) 2f --- slash (represents directory) 8343 - Japanese Katakana i (30a4 in Unicode) 2e --- period 70 --- p 64 --- d 66 --- f This link will work both on Japanese Winodews and Japanese Mac OS with Japanese Acrobat. Regards, KuMi The problem here is how are these multi-byte interpreted. What is the encoding? I tried to create a link to a directory with a chinese name in my computer with Acrobat 4 and it just put a ? for the chinese name. Maybe it works with the japanese Acrobat, or maybe not.
