If you see the Hindi text properly then you're not looking hard enough. iText knows nothing about shapping Indic languages. You'll be able to see the unshapped glyphs, though. ArialUnicode has the Telegu glyphs, if you don't see them you are not using the right encoding or the right font or som

It's entirely possible that your FontFactory doesn't know about your system fonts yet. Whenever the factory is asked for a font it has never heard of, it returns a default font (you guessed it, Helvetica). Have a look at the Register Fonts example on the itext website: http://itextdocs.lowagie

AcroFields doesn't provide a high-level function for this, you'll have to go "under the covers". 1) Get the fields AcroFields.Item: Item fldItem = myAcroFields.getFieldItem( "FieldName" ); 2) Figure out what your actual default value needs to be. Text fields use a PdfString, everything else us

Re: [iText-questions] order of acro fields when iText reads an acroform

2007-02-01 Thread Mark Storer
The source is your friend. IIRC, iText uses a hash map to store the fields, so the order they're in has nothing to do with the order in the document, the page, reading order, or anything else. It's effectively random, though you'll get the same order every time for a given set of entries.

You'll need to freeze the state after preClose and resume it after the signature is received. One way of doing it is to keep the instance around, the other option is to modify the iText code, not very difficult but not trivial either. Paulo > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
