Non-ASCII characters not being filled in form #95

Hi, thank you for your script. I can't get the non-ASCII characters into the completed PDF, do you know how I can troubleshoot and/or fix this problem?

var pdfFiller = require('pdffiller'); var sourcePDF = "test/test.pdf"; var destinationPDF = "test/test_complete.pdf"; var data = { "firstName" : "String with some special characters čćšđž" };

pdfFiller.fillForm( sourcePDF, destinationPDF, data, function(err) { if (err) throw err; console.log("In callback (we're done)."); });

Hello @snowlep @mikeoaklet 👋 Did you find a solution to your problem ? I'm encountering the same issue 😅

@rbadr No, and I scrapped my project for other reasons so I didn't find a work-around.
