generating PDF with cyrillic content impossible?

hsherlock Dec 8, 2007 3:07 PM

Hi friends,

Using the information from the iText book and some forums I generated PDF file with cyrillic content (by embedding the corresponding cyrillic-enabled font, because the default ones do not have such support).
However, when I tried to generate the same PDF from JBoss Seam PDF, I found that there is no way to embed custom fonts in the PDF from Seam and after PDF generation, the cyrillic content is simply missing (ignored?!) in the resulting PDF file.
Am I missing something? Are there any workaround for this?

Please help.

Thank you in advance!

We support character set encoding, but not embedded fonts. I've not looked at how easy/hard it is to do. Why don't you open a JIRA request with your itext code, and I'll see if it's something that can be easily added.
