Hi, I created a blank PDF with Acrobat Pro DC. I added one text field with font David. I filled the text field using Acrobat so that it displays the David font in the fonts section (in Document Properties window). Then, I applied fixup "Embed missing fonts" via the Preflight menu.
When I look at the fonts list (in Document Properties), I can see the David font with the following properties: David (Embedded Subset) Type: TrueType (CID) Encoding: Identity-H When I try to set a value containing Hebrew characters using PDF box, I get the following error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: U+05D0 is not available in this font's encoding: WinAnsiEncoding at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont.encode(PDTrueTypeFont.java:399) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont.encode(PDFont.java:323) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont.getStringWidth(PDFont.java:352) I already know the workaround of embedding a font before setting the value but I'm trying to understand what is going on here. I understand the Hebrew characters are not in the WinAnsiEncoding but why this encoding is used at the first place? Thanks, Mickael
