Re: [iText-questions] Special characters on input forms

[Leonard Rosenthol]

The fields in the form are too short for the font/size being used – edit the 
form.

As of Acrobat 5, when they introduced XMP - there was a 
"mapping" between the XMP metadata in /Catalog/Metadata and that of 
the /Info dictionary.


With 6, that became stronger and forced the XMP to be the 
"true definitive metadata" (meaning that if you have XMP it will 
cause Acro to ignore what is in /Info).


Acrobat 7 attempts to give both XMP and /Info equal time - 
it does this in a way that is causing problems with /Info dict 
entries with & in them...

Reader 7, I presume?

There appears to be a bug in Acro/Reader 7 regarding 
ampersands in metadata :(.




I tried also unicode

...
moreInfo.put("Author", "1\u00261 Internet AG");
...


Not that's valid Acrobat Unicode - or iText has a bug in how 
it writes out Unicode strings to the Info dict.

[iText-questions] Special characters in info dictionary

[Sven Loth]

Hi,

I want to set some additional Information like author, title etc. but
special characters like ampersand do not appear in Acrobat Reader.

PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, new
FileOutputStream( "stamped.pdf"));
HashMap moreInfo = new HashMap();
moreInfo.put("Author", "1&1 Internet AG");
stamp.setMoreInfo(moreInfo);

I tried also unicode 

...
moreInfo.put("Author", "1\u00261 Internet AG");
...

Acrobat Reader displays "11 Internet AG"

Thanks for your help!

[Dayal Murukutla]

Hmmm…

Are you trying to generate the PDF form
and populate it OR are you trying to populate a pre generated PDF form programmatically?

There is a lot of difference as in the
latter case you can just set the field value accordingly.

 

Eg:

 

form.setField("checkbox_field",
“Yes”);

Hi,


Do I need to take any extra care, if I want my reports to have special 

characters like ^ ? I'm building reports in portuguese, so we have words 

like 'mês' which have these special characters. These characters are 

disapearing on my reports when I present them in a browser. Does anyone know 

why?


Thanks in advance.

Philip.

[iText-questions] Special characters

[Philip Stephen Medcraft]

Hi,

Do I need to take any extra care, if I want my reports to have special 
characters like ^ ? I'm building reports in portuguese, so we have words 
like 'mês' which have these special characters. These characters are 
disapearing on my reports when I present them in a browser. Does anyone know 
why?

Thanks in advance.
Philip.

The Latin built in fonts don't have the infinity character but the Symbol
(Bfont has it. Another option is to embed a TT font that has the character
(Busing the encoding Identity-H.

Hi Everybody!

How can I do to put special characters (Example: ü,ä,ö,ß) when I
create a PDF-file with iText?

Thanks
