Hi. I have a problem with the print original. When you load a form (LoadFromFile), writing to one of the items (SetFormFieldValueByTitle) as a form "ěščřžýáíé" Save (SaveToFile), everything is fine.
But if I print the form (PrintDocument) and missing features "ěčř". Can you advise? Thanks Pavel Addendum: If you use command instead of the PrintDocument API function ShellExecute (0, "print", "test.pdf", "", "", 1) printing is fine. |

Hi Doktor ;-) I can't read your used special characters here in your post. Please read here about the function SetFormFieldValueByTitle: http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetFormFieldValueByTitle.php You're using special characters and perhaps you don't use WideString? Additionally you should read and use SetNeedAppearances: http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetNeedAppearances.php Knowing a bit about FlattenFormField should be good, too: http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/FlattenFormField.php Starting at page 32 of the developer guide: http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_developer_guide/debenu_quick_pdf_library_10_developer_guide.pdf ... you'll find several samples for your first steps with forms. Cheers and welcome here, Ingo ------------- Cheers, Ingo |

Thank you for your response. I tried to go through the above commands and settings as well as various examples but the result is still the same.  What can I possibly even try?If you were in a previous post unreadable and national characters join in pictures. How it should look: http://ulozto.cz/xQq4gHXu/screen-ok-jpg" rel="nofollow - http://ulozto.cz/xQq4gHXu/screen-ok-jpg This will print: http://ulozto.cz/x77bvpdL/screen-bad-jpg" rel="nofollow - http://ulozto.cz/x77bvpdL/screen-bad-jpg Pavel |

I do not know. Let me try it. So far I only wrote to the existing form and then printed out. Pavel |

So I tried the example from the documentation... loPDFLib.SetOrigin(1) loPDFLib.DrawText(100, 100, "ěščřžýáíé") loPDFLib.SaveToFile("d:\test.pdf") ... and the result is still the same ie. some characters are missing. In this case, the characters are missing already saved in PDF. - However, if the above example will fulfill the orders AddTrueTypeFont and SelectFont (see below), everything is fine. loPDFLib.SetOrigin(1) lnFontID=loPDFLib.AddTrueTypeFont('Arial CE {1250}', 1) loPDFLib.SelectFont(lnFontID) loPDFLib.DrawText(100, 100, "ěščřžýáíé") loPDFLib.SaveToFile("d:\test.pdf") lcPrinter=loPDFLib.NewCustomPrinter(loPDFLib.GetDefaultPrinterName) loPDFLib.PrintDocument(lcPrinter, 1, 1, 0) - So I finally tried out for field txtName change the font to Arial and use commands AddTrueTypeFont and SelectFont (see below). Unfortunately, in the press are again some characters omitted. loPDFLib.LoadFromFile("c:\form.pdf", "") lnFontID=loPDFLib.AddTrueTypeFont('Arial CE {1250}', 1) loPDFLib.SelectFont(lnFontID) loPDFLib.SetFormFieldValueByTitle("txtName", "ěščřžýáíé") So the question probably sounds as txtName entry form impose font Arial CE. Appendix: Command GetFormFontName I found that Arial is the first index So I tried SetFormFieldFont command to set the appropriate font for the item txtName but I failed. When I command SaveToFile order form so it is okay i diacritics font is changed to Arial but when printing problem again. Pavel |

Solved! I had to add some command AddFormFont and here is all of it: loPDFLib.LoadFromFile("c:\form.pdf", "") lnFontID=loPDFLib.AddTrueTypeFont('Arial CE {1250}', 1) lnIndex=loPDFLib.AddFormFont(lnFontID) FOR f=1 TO loPDFLib.FormFieldCount() loPDFLib.SetFormFieldFont(f, lnIndex) ENDFOR loPDFLib.SetFormFieldValueByTitle("txtName", " http://ulozto.cz/xQq4gHXu/screen-ok-jpg" rel="nofollow - ěščřžýáíé ") FOR f=1 TO loPDFLib.FormFieldCount() loPDFLib.UpdateAppearanceStream(f) ENDFOR lcPrinter=loPDFLib.NewCustomPrinter(loPDFLib.GetDefaultPrinterName) loPDFLib.PrintDocument(lcPrinter, 1, loPDFLib.PageCount, 0) Thanks for mLipok push in the right direction!
