Special characters in iText?

You have to use a font and encoding that contains those characters. Your best bet is to use IDENTITY_H for your encoding, as this grants you access to every character within a given font... but you still have to use the right font.

There are several font-manipulation examples within "iText in Action's" chapter on fonts: itextpdf.com/book/chapter.php?id=11 The examples are down the right side.

Buying the book would probably help too.

Id=164 utf8 generally works for me – user979490 Oct 14 '11 at 2:42.

You can escape them according to the unicode escape sequence defined in the java language specification. See java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/first_editio... If you are using IntelliJ IDEA for your code you can download the StringManipulation plugin, that does the escapes for you. In the settings of IDEA you can also set the "Transparent native-to-ascii conversion" checkbox under File encodings, and this should help do the trick.

I use this encoding for characters but iText doesn't show them. I want to work in GAE. – isola009 Sep 28 '10 at 12:32 Have you tried escaping the characters?

I have also had the same problem, and I figured out using IDENTITY_H for encoding is working fine. For example: Font font = FontFactory. GetFont(f.getName(),BaseFont.

IDENTITY_H) I don't understand why with BaseFont. WINANSI it doesn't work. Winansi is the standard Windows Cp1252 character set, that one used by my JVM.So, if the char is correctly displayed in Java, why it is not the case for PDF?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
