Hi man,

I like to use your pdf form filler. It works well, but I have issue with writing special characters to forms by your tool. May be it is problem of PDF, but I hope you can explain me "how it works".

So, whats the problem: when I fill forms field with words withs special czech chars (čřž) in document A it works fine. But when I fill it in document B this character is not showing. I set the same font/size of field in document B and still same trouble. I even try to copy one field from document A to document B and try to fill it - the field from document A is ok (with čřž) and field which were originally in document B without "čřž".

(it is interesting that when I put cursor to field it shows chars correctly)

Have you some idea? Thank you!

Hi,

Could you please provide some sample files (XML and PDF)? The form filler should not change the character set for standard form fields.

Thanks, Bernd
