2 czech Characters getting lost when parsing through IText

2 czech Characters getting lost when parsing through IText

2006-07-22 - By Bela Sharma

Hi
I get a strange issue with 2 of the czech characters when generating PDF
using IText version 1.4.2.
When customerNumber=Pr??erne ?lutouck? is sent as as input to IText after
doing following steps
// Step 1: creation of a document-object
document = new Document(PageSize.A4);

// step 2: create a writer that listens to the document
writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos);
// step 3: we create a parser and set the document handler
parser =
SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
InputSource isrc = new InputSource(bais);
isrc.setEncoding(getEncodingType());
CustomTagHandler cth= new
CustomTagHandler(document, writer, getCustomMap(),"ISO-8859 (See http://ISO-8859.ora-code.com)-2");

// step 4: we parse the document
parser.parse(isrc,cth);
System.out.println(" in GenericContracttoPdfconv.
parser:"+parser.toString());
// step 5: close the document object
document.close();

The 2 characters ? and ? are lost and we get boxes in their place.

Here's the constructor for CustomTagHandler

public CustomTagHandler(DocListener _doclistener, PdfWriter
_writer,HashMap hashmap,String encoding_loc)throws DocumentException,
IOException
{
super(_doclistener);

setStrMethodName("CustomTagHandler"); /* NOI18N */
fillLocaleFont();

if (encoding_loc.indexOf("-locale-") != -1){
position = encoding_loc.indexOf("-locale-");
System.out.println("CTH sit_loc:"+encoding_loc+"
pos:"+position);
encoding = encoding_loc.substring(0, position);
locale = encoding_loc.substring(position+8);
System.out.println("CTH enc:"+encoding+" locale:"
+locale);
}else{
encoding = encoding_loc;
System.out.println("CTH enco:"+encoding);
}

filename=getFontFile(locale);
setBaseFont(BaseFont.createFont(filename,
encoding,BaseFont.EMBEDDED));
setMyTags(hashmap);
setWriter(_writer);
setDoclistener(_doclistener);
setCb(_writer.getDirectContent());
stackThis = new java.util.Stack

();
isStackReadyForText = false;
leftText = null;
centerText = null;
rightText = null;

}

Can you please guide us as to what should we do for those 2 missing
characters.
