Hi Terry!

Please read about function "AddSubsettedFont". This should help ...
Here's a sample for writing chinese characters with unicode:

'The following VB example shows how to subset a font and
'draw text using Unicode characters.

Dim PDF As TQuickPDF0713
Set PDF = CreateObject("TQuickPDF0713")
Call PDF.UnlockKey (" - your license key here - " )

Dim S As String
'Say hello in english and chinese ...
S = "Hello: " & ChrW(&H4F60) & ChrW(&H597D)
Call PDF.AddSubsettedFont ("Verdana", 7, S)
Call PDF.DrawText (100, 500, PDFSq.GetSubsetString (S))
Call PDF.SaveToFile ("c:\unicode.pdf")
Set PDF = Nothing

Cheers, Ingo

Hi Ingo,

Thanks your hits. How about if I had a report to print out, does it mean I need to draw text on each report line.

Hi Ingo,

I had a Chinese WMF file. Can I use QuickPDF to convert this file to PDF?

Before that, I had ask the same question to Leonid Chudakov (Which provide a solution in Clarion to call QuickPDF to make PDF report in Clarion). He told me that your company working on Wmf to pdf conversion.

To me, I'm a software developer, I'm using Clarion to develop business application. I use clarion to print some report, but it can not make Chinese PDF report. So I want to under the WMF file and convert such file to one PDF report. I hope I can solve it under the use of QuickPDF.

Regards.

Hi!

With the render-functions you can convert it to pdf.

Cheers, Ingo

Indigo's code works fine with iSEDQuickPDF.DLL v. 5.11 but does not work with QuickPDF.DLL v. 7.15

Do I miss something?

Tnx

I noticed that QuickPDFAddSubsettedFont() returns nothing. Here is the code:

lcText = CHR(0x4F) + CHR(0x60) + CHR(0x59) + CHR(0x7D)

lnResult = QuickPDFAddSubsettedFont(lnInstanceID, "Verdana", 7, lcText)

When I use follow code with iSEDQuickPDF.DLL v. 5.11:

lcText = CHR(0x4F) + CHR(0x60) + CHR(0x59) + CHR(0x7D)

lnResult = iSEDAddSubsettedFont("Verdana", 7, lcText)

iSEDAddSubsettedFont returns numeric value - Font ID

I see you the bug has been fixed in v. Quick PDF Library 7.16 Beta 1

Now I am able to print Chinese characters. But when I try to print mixed string - something like:

"Hello: " + CHR(0x60) + CHR(0x4F) + CHR(0x7D) + CHR(0x59)

I get a mess. I did try to pass "Hello" as a double byte character string as well: :

"H e l l o : " + CHR(0x60) + CHR(0x4F) + CHR(0x7D) + CHR(0x59)

No luck

The only way I could do this - is to print char by char in a loop, but this is not acceptable for me.

The follow code prints Chinese characters correct:

lcText = CHR(0x60) + CHR(0x4F) + CHR(0x7D) + CHR(0x59)

lnResult = QuickPDFAddSubsettedFont(lnInstanceID, "Verdana", 7, lcText)

lnResult = QuickPDFDrawText (lnInstanceID , lnLeft, lnTop, QuickPDFGetSubsetString(lnInstanceID , lcText))

Is there any way to print combined string, i.e. English words + Chinese characters?
