Hi,

it's the last time i'm answering regarding this issue...

CP1252 is single byte english encoding. Some call it ANSI.

But QuickPDF deals with unicode and not ANSI.

CP1252 is represented by a single byte for each letter - unicode is represented by two bytes.

I think there's your problem.

It depends on your programming language.

If there's no real unicode support perhaps you can convert it (this is possible in VB6 for example).

Here you can find a mapping table CP1252/unicode:

http://unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP1252.TXT

If you read in the reference about SetFormFieldValue...

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetFormFieldValue.php

...you see that unicode is needed.

Perhaps it's possible for you to upload the pdf anywhere and post the link here...

I can send you the PDF, you can see the Arial font in the properties.

I did add Arial to fonts, sorry it's not included in the code because it was done before, I use Arial for other texts also.....

Hi eborger,

if it's your code snippet then it's clear that Arial won't work

and if you've read already the docs then you know why ;-)

You have to add Arial physically to the library 'cause it's not inside the lib:

AddTrueTypeFontFromFile

Please keep in mind that not all fonts are working with unicode.

For Arial for example there's a special "Arial Unicode MS"...

QuickPDF uses strings as unicode...

I read all the examples, and did everything according to the docs, but all I get are dots inside the form field.

If I use helvetica it works, but with arial or courier it does not !!!!

the code I posted is a snippet of my code, I am using the DLL version and all works fine, except for this !

Hi eborger,

you should post your relevant code snippet - so the users here have a chance to point you into the right direction ;-)

We had a similar thread few days ago:

Inside the listed guids you'll find answers.
