Android : Writing Special Characters To Form Field

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am attempting to write special Characters to a PDF acro text field using the Android library of QuickPdf v12.12.
I use the following code:

               /*I use 18 as it corresponds to Mac CharacterSet which contains the character I wish to write*/
                String value = mDQPL.GetInstalledFontsByCharset(18, 0);	

              /*I chose a font from the list returned above*/	
		String[] fonts = value.split(",");
		String fontToEmbed = fonts[0].replace("\"", "");

               /*I embed the font*/
		int embedded = mDQPL.AddTrueTypeFont(fontToEmbed, 1);
		int fontCount = mDQPL.AddFormFont(embedded);
		int formFieldCount = mDQPL.DAGetFormFieldCount(fileHandle);

               /*I set the embedded font as a Form Field Font*/
                for (int i = 1; i <= formFieldCount; i++) {
			if (mDQPL.GetFormFieldType(i) == 1) {				
				String name = mDQPL.GetFormFieldFontName(i); 
				int set = mDQPL.SetFormFieldFont(i,fontCount);
				String v = "\u00C2";
			        mDQPL.SetFormFieldValue(i, v);				
			}
		}

		mDQPL.SaveToFile(FileOpHelper.returnRootDirectory(context)+"/temmm1.pdf");
		mDQPL.DACloseFile(fileHandle);

But I do not get any output the PDF remains blank. This happens with every pdf.

Please Note: The list of Fonts Installed, filtered by Charset, returned is as follows:
