Hello, I am working on a project where we need the Unicode support. Currently, I am using PDFBox 1.8.7 version. Per your suggestion, I tested the Unicode support in current 2.0 dev SNAPSHOT. It works and I was successful in supporting the required language. Thanks a lot for adding it in 2.0.
I am curious to know if there is any decided timeline for the GA version of 2.0? When can we expect the 2.0 version to be out for GA? If you can provide me some info on the timeline, it would be of great help since I can make some decisions for my current project. Thank you in advance, Rakshit On Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 9:50 PM, John Hewson <[email protected]> wrote: > This is a known issue with 1.8 which has been fixed in the 2.0 trunk. > There isn't an official release but you can use a development snapshot. > > -- John > > > On 6 Jan 2015, at 14:19, [email protected] wrote: > > > > Hello, > > > > i am trying to print a "€" char using pdfbox.
