Cyrillic letters in pdf form #25
Comments
Use the XFdf data format which supports UTF-8. See the README and #10 |
@pavlentio Did it work after adding XFdf option? I tried it without success. My pdftk version is 2.02. |
yep, i got it work, but add some code. |
Are you sure you embedded all the necessary fonts into the pdf form when creating it? There are certain size optimization options in Acrobat which may lead to missing fonts / characters. Afaik pdftk cannot add any fonts to a form when filling it out, it depends on the fonts already embedded. |
Author of pdftk answered me: Hello- Thank you for your email. Try appending the option "need_appearances" at the end of your pdftk command. From the manual:
The reason for this is that pdftk doesn't have Cyrillic fonts. So it can't create the visual appearance for your text. By adding need_appearances, Reader/Acrobat will create the appearance after the PDF is opened. Regards- Sid Steward
С уважением,
I think that standard fonts must work good with need_appearances option. |
Thank you all. But currently I get a Java exception (pdftk related)
I am waiting for response from Sid Steward |
Have you overcome this problem? |
@xinlangzi I didn't. |
