Chinese Characters

Dear all,

I've to add a specific legal notice on a document... but in Chinese Character.

Do you know if its possible ? And if yes, how ? Through a special font ? With Unicode Characters ?

Example : how to display this :
?

Thanks a lot !

Hello,

Yes, you can add special characters to the PDF document without any problem. You will have to use the Open type or True type font files which has support for the characters you are adding.

You can refer to the help documentation for adding Open Type fonts and Type1 fonts on our website.

Thanks,

Unfortunately I know that, and I've yet tried, but the problem is that I can't require a specific character of a font !

So for example, I can write "a", or HTML Encode or other things like that. But How to say to the pdf that this character :
?
is the unicode represention of "申" in my font ?

If I add "申", the font write "ç" and two empty symbols, but does not understand that its a single character...

Hello,

Please email the following information to our support team: support@cete.com so we can look into this further.

1. Font file being used to add Chinese characters
2. Code used to add the text to PDF.
3. Output PDF document.

Its the point ! Remember I try to add this character : ?
HTML Unicode Value : "& # 30003;"
HEX Unicode Value : "7533"


With this :

Set cRow = cTable.AddRow2( DPDF_Font_SinoTypeSongLight, 12, "48626F", "FFFFFF" )


I tried :

Set cCell = cRow.AddCell2( "\u7533", , , , , 2 )
Or Set cCell = cRow.AddCell2( Unescape('\u7533'), , , , , 2 )
> display '\u7533'


Or, trying through HTML engine :
Call cCell.SetFormattedTextArea( "& # 30003;", 0, 0, 536, 50, DPDF_Font_SinoTypeSongLight, 12, False )
> error message : error '80131500' : FontFamily specified not available.Please add FontFamily to the document
> logical if its not a family


So trying creating a family with the simsun font :
> display : "& # 30003;" with a first little square (character not found, I guess).


I cannot write in my ASP code :
Set cCell = cRow.AddCell2( "?", , , , , 2 )
Because my source files encoding does not allow it. So I have to write "something" that can be understood as a special character, just like the browser display "?" when I write "response.Write("& # 30003;")"


Best Regards,

Hello,

Here is the sample code that shows how to add Chinese characters using hex code in a table cell directly. You can use ChrW(&h7533) to represent the Chinese character in FormattedTextArea as well.

Set Row1 = MyTable.AddRow2(DPDF_Font_SinoTypeSongLight, 16, MyDocument.Colors.Black, MyDocument.Colors.Gray)
Row1.AddCell2( ChrW(&h7533)  )

Hello,

You can add Chinese characters using a correct Unicode value. Below is the code sample for adding Chinese character using DynamicPDF for Java product.

            Document document=new Document();
            Page page=new Page();
            document.getPages().add(page);
            Font fontObj=Font.getSinoTypeSongLight();
            FontFamily fontFamilyObj=new FontFamily("SinoTypeChinese",fontObj);
            //Adding Chinese character using Unicode value.
            String text="\u7533";
            FormattedTextArea areaUnicode=new FormattedTextArea(text,0,0,100,50,fontFamilyObj,12,true);
            page.getElements().add(areaUnicode);
            document.draw("C:\\temp\\MydocumentJava.pdf");
