Add Unicode Text with PDETextAdd and PDEFontCreateFromSysFont

[Doron_Tal@adobeforums.com]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to write text into a PDF with the set of functions as used in this example:
<http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/52669.htm?OpenDocument>

I have two problems:
The first, is that I get exception error in the PDEFontEmbedNow function with Bad Parameter.
I have tried it with all other embed/subset/dont etc'... but nothing is working - still Bad Parameter.
The ONLY way the function works is when I change the Font Creation Attributes to:
kPDEFontCreateToUnicode | kPDEFontCreateEmbedded;

> Do you have any idea?

The second, problem is to embed unicode text. How do I do that?
I have tried to pass the unicode string to the PDETextAdd function, but I get garbage.

> Can you help me to find a way to add unicode text?

I'm working with Adobe Acrobat 7.05 SDK, and testing the plug-in on Adobe Acrobat 7.05 Professional (ME Version), on Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2.

Many thanks,
Doron

Have you looked at the samples in the Acrobat SDK concerning font embedding and Unicode/ASText?

Yes I did, but with no success either.
