Problems with ')' in form-fields #79

Open pkuenemann opened 5 years ago

pkuenemann commented 5 years ago

We are came across a problem using pdf filler when we try to populate fields with text containing a closing bracket without an opening bracket before (like: "hi guys :-)"). Escaping the bracket with a backslash before does not help. Pdftk runs into an exception. Is this problem known and is there maybe a solution for it?

Would appreciate any help. Thanx

I have the same problem, single, or rather open, parenthesis cases pdfFiller to crash, like "Hi (guys" Seem to be a pull request that fixes it, but it does not get merged.
