Solved!

I had to add some command AddFormFont and here is all of it:

loPDFLib.LoadFromFile("c:\form.pdf", "")

lnFontID=loPDFLib.AddTrueTypeFont('Arial CE {1250}', 1)
lnIndex=loPDFLib.AddFormFont(lnFontID)
           
FOR f=1 TO loPDFLib.FormFieldCount()
    loPDFLib.SetFormFieldFont(f, lnIndex)
ENDFOR
                       
loPDFLib.SetFormFieldValueByTitle("txtName", "ěščřžýáíé")

FOR f=1 TO loPDFLib.FormFieldCount()
    loPDFLib.UpdateAppearanceStream(f)
ENDFOR

lcPrinter=loPDFLib.NewCustomPrinter(loPDFLib.GetDefaultPrinterName)
loPDFLib.PrintDocument(lcPrinter, 1, loPDFLib.PageCount, 0)

Thanks for mLipok push in the right direction!

So I tried the example from the documentation...

loPDFLib.SetOrigin(1)
loPDFLib.DrawText(100, 100, "ěščřžýáíé")
loPDFLib.SaveToFile("d:\test.pdf")

... and the result is still the same ie. some characters are missing.
In this case, the characters are missing already saved in PDF.


- However, if the above example will fulfill the orders AddTrueTypeFont and SelectFont (see below), everything is fine.

loPDFLib.SetOrigin(1)

lnFontID=loPDFLib.AddTrueTypeFont('Arial CE {1250}', 1)
loPDFLib.SelectFont(lnFontID)

loPDFLib.DrawText(100, 100, "ěščřžýáíé")
loPDFLib.SaveToFile("d:\test.pdf")

lcPrinter=loPDFLib.NewCustomPrinter(loPDFLib.GetDefaultPrinterName)
loPDFLib.PrintDocument(lcPrinter, 1, 1, 0)


- So I finally tried out for field txtName change the font to Arial and use commands AddTrueTypeFont and SelectFont (see below). Unfortunately, in the press are again some characters omitted.

loPDFLib.LoadFromFile("c:\form.pdf", "")
lnFontID=loPDFLib.AddTrueTypeFont('Arial CE {1250}', 1)
loPDFLib.SelectFont(lnFontID)
loPDFLib.SetFormFieldValueByTitle("txtName", "ěščřžýáíé")


So the question probably sounds as txtName entry form impose font Arial CE.


Appendix:

Command GetFormFontName I found that Arial is the first index So I tried SetFormFieldFont command to set the appropriate font for the item txtName but I failed. When I command SaveToFile order form so it is okay i diacritics font is changed to Arial but when printing problem again.

I do not know. Let me try it. So far I only wrote to the existing form and then printed out.

Thank you for your response.

I tried to go through the above commands and settings as well as various examples but the result is still the same. Cry What can I possibly even try?

If you were in a previous post unreadable and national characters join in pictures.

Hi Doktor ;-)

I can't read your used special characters here in your post. 
Please read here about the function SetFormFieldValueByTitle:
http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetFormFieldValueByTitle.php
You're using special characters and perhaps you don't use WideString?

Additionally you should read and use SetNeedAppearances:
http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetNeedAppearances.php
Knowing a bit about FlattenFormField should be good, too:
http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/FlattenFormField.php

Starting at page 32 of the developer guide:
http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_developer_guide/debenu_quick_pdf_library_10_developer_guide.pdf
... you'll find several samples for your first steps with forms.

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

Hi.
I have a problem with the print original. When you load a form (LoadFromFile), writing to one of the items (SetFormFieldValueByTitle) as a form "ěščřžýáíé" Save (SaveToFile), everything is fine.
But if I print the form (PrintDocument) and missing features "ěčř". Can you advise?
Thanks Pavel

Addendum: If you use command instead of the PrintDocument API function ShellExecute (0, "print", "test.pdf", "", "", 1) printing is fine.
