Greetings,

I am using EO PDF in my work environment to convert HTML pages to PDF and to modify form fields within existing templates. Lately our clients have been submitting some strange complaints. The form fields within the PDF templates do not recognize the standard Arial font, and certain letters such as b, c, V are missing entirely. While digging around and attempting to find a solution, I've noticed that truetype fonts get encoded with Identity-H and embedded as a subset directly within the PDF. My initial suspicion was that this causes the error, but I'm unsure as of yet. I've tried making sure that my output stream is properly encoded in UTF-8 but this has not yielded any results yet.

Do you have any suggestions or different means of approaching this problem?

Hi,

Please check if you are using the latest build. EO.Pdf always uses Identity-H with font subset, but older version may not include all the glyph information in the subset, which can cause some characters not being rendered correctly. This issue has been addressed recently.

If the problem still exists with the latest build, please try to isolate the problem into a test project and send the test project to us. See here for more details:

Once we have that we will be happy to investigate further.

Thanks!

We have received the test project and we do not see any problems with the latest version. What version do you use?

We tested this build and it works fine. Can you send us a result PDF file that's wrong?
