Why PDF creator does not show special character properly ?

Post by kamleshvgujarathi »

Hello,

Download the fw4.pdf from IRS site of USA and open it in PDF creator control and the first page "Personal Allowance Section". In that

there are A to H points and in A B C E F points there sentance start with
Enter "1" ............ Okay
------------

But when we open this pdf in the Pdf creator control in VB6.0 it shows the
BOXES at the place of double quotes. this the problem
-------------------------------------------

Let me know how can I resolve this problem.

if you want to see the difference then open the fw4.pdf in the ADOBE 6.0 and Amyuni Application then see the difference.

waiting for your reply .

Thanks

This will typically happen if the quotes are written in Unicode characters.

The current version of the PDF Creator doesn't fully support Unicode characters.

I didn't check the file you are mentioning myself so I can't say if this file has unicode characters or not or if it is generated with multilanguage option on or not.
