It doesn't specify how to deal with non-ascii text in forms. All simple fonts (chapter 5.5) use 8bit codes which is not enough so they can not be used generally (including all the 14 base fonts). One possibility here seems to use a CID font. Or try to go beyond the 8bit constraint and try to find whether the font you use has the the glyphs for the Unicode characters you use when rendering text. Btw, this comment summarises font problems arising when changing a text in PDF quite well: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/a/15973614">http://stackoverflow.com/a/15973614</a>. Btw2, Adobe Reader stores text which includes non-ascii characters as unicode hexadecimal strings and ascii only text as normal strings. But it also changes font in the PDF to a CID font in the non-ascii case.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
