Hi All
My application generates PDF in 14 European languages(Hungarian, Slovakian, Russian etc). While it works fine for other languages, the Russian one doesn't. I display certain static content, which i pick up from a properties file(i store the data after running it through the nativetoAcsii tool of the JDK). I tried debugg it and found that the reading from prop file is fine as i could see it in the HashMap. I downloaded the cyrillic font from net but even that doesn't help. Is it that we should embed the font while generating the PDF?
Adobe site says that if a PDF has characters which are not present in the system, we can get the latest update and it should work. Or, fonts should be embedded in the PDF itself.
If someone has used iText to generate PDFs in Russian language, I would love to hear from them about how they managed it.
Thanks
