broken diacritics in pdf form fields

[sevcikl]

Hi, I´m using Spire.PDF (Spire.Office evaluation) and trying to fill pdf form widget text fields with Czech chars (příliš žluťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy). But when I set form flattening, in result pdf is diacritics broken (pøíliš žlu•ouèký kùò úpìl ïábelské ódy). Document embedded font encoding is WinAnsiEncoding.

Can you help me? We want buy licence of Spire.Office.

Hi,

Greetings from e-iceblue!
After an initial investigation, we found the issue can be resolved by specifying the font which supports the character you added, eg, the "Arial". The latest pdf hotfix can generate correct result after declaring font, yet it is not included in the recent office package. Once the new office hotfix is released, I will let you know.
Below is the code to set font.

Code: Select all

   PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
    doc.LoadFromFile(file);
    PdfFormWidget formWidget = doc.Form as PdfFormWidget;
    for (int i = 0; i < formWidget.FieldsWidget.List.Count; i++)
    {
        PdfField field = formWidget.FieldsWidget.List[i] as PdfField;
        if (field is PdfTextBoxFieldWidget)
        {
            PdfTextBoxFieldWidget textBoxField = field as PdfTextBoxFieldWidget;
            textBoxField.Font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Arial", 8), true);
            switch (textBoxField.Name)
            {
                case "textbox name ":
                    textBoxField.Text = "příliš žluťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy";
                    break;
            }
        }
    }

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. The fix haven't been added to Spire.Office at present. You could use the dlls from latest Spire.PDF(Spire.PDF Pack(Hot Fix) Version:3.9.604) and have a try. Once we release the new version of Spire.Office, we will inform you.

Best regards,
