Convert Hexadecimal NCRs to unicode characters

I have Hexadecimal NCRs in comments while importing comments from the 3b2 application. How can this be converted to appropriate characters using acrobat javascript.
For example: The comment contains (&#x000D) which should be converted to the appropriate unicode character.

I may be wrong, but I think you would use String.fromCharCode to convert a UCS-2 code into a string. So you then have to parse your string to process any escapes in it, and call that method.

Java UDF help: Hexadecimal to Chinese Unicode converison

Hi Experts,
can someone help me in a design solution to convert Hexadecimal Values to Chinese Characters while sending the data to receiver system.
I am not able to get any methods in Java to do the conversion.
Help is appreciated.
Regards,
Prakash.

Hi Grzegorz Glowacki,
I am sorry this is not working :(.
Sample input: 4E2D56FD     -->basically this hexavalues are chinese character representation.
Output for it: ?????????
+for verification:open Wordpad-->copy the hexcode >select 4chars at a time> hit <altx> and you will get corresponding conversion value.++
String result = new String();
try {
byte[] bytes = new byte[input.length()/4];
    for (int i = 0; i < input.length()/4; i++) {
      byte value = Integer.valueOf(input.substring(i*4,i*4+4), 16).byteValue();
      bytes<i> = new Byte( value );    *//Byte cannot be stored in byte*
    result = new String(bytes, "UTF-16");
catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e){}
return result;
Also this is PI7.0 system. please do help.
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Prakash.

Converting a hexadecimal string to ASCII-characters.

I have long hexadecimal strings that I wish to convert to their corresponding ascii-characters. I know there are a series of functions for doing things like this - hex to number, number to string etc.
At the moment, however, I am stuck at entering the hexadecimal string. I connect it to "hexadecimal string to number". What I get out is the decimal value of the two last digits of the hexadecimal number. No other wires are connected to the function. This means data is lost. How do I get around this? Is this particular function at all suitable for what I am trying to do?

Hi Tzench,
"hexadecimal string" isn't very accurate and conversion questions have been discussed many times before...
See example on conversion of two different "hexadecimal" strings. There are other conversion methods, but those are most easiest to understand

Alogrithm for converting Unicode characters to EBCDIC

I would like to know if there is any algorithm for converting Unicode Characters to EBCDIC.
Awaiting your replys
Thanks in advance,
Ravi

I would like to know if there is any algorithm for
converting Unicode Characters to EBCDIC.Isn't ECBDIC a 7-bit code like ASCII. Unicode is
16-bit. This means there is no way Unicode can be
mapped on ECBDIC without loss of information. Link to
Unicode,
No. That is like saying that since UTF-8 is 8 bit based then it can't be mapped to UTF-16. But it does.
EBCDIC either directly supports or has versions which support multibyte character sets. A multibyte character set can encode any fixed format sized character set. The basic idea is the same way UTF-8 works.
Multibyte character sets have the added benifit that most of the data in the world is from the ASCII character set and the encodings always support that using only 8 bits. Thus the memory savings over UTF-16 (or UTF-32) are significant.

After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)

Hello,
I'm getting the following error message:
After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)
I have yet to find an answer that works to resolve this problem. I'm using CS6 on an HP Z220 on Windows 7.
Thanks in advance.

So I solved the problem. A little history for this situation: I created a new AE project and while attempting to import a file received the error message: After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)
I then tried to import a Vanishing Point which broken the spell on the error message and allowed the menu to select a vanishing point to appear. I closed out of that and was then able to import files.

AE error: Could not convert Unicode Characters

Hey guys,
I purchased the Video Copliot Action essentials 2 (720p). Whenever I try to import or drag and drop the pre-keyed clips (quicktime .mov format) into AE, I get the After Effects error: could not convert Unicode Characters (23 ::46) . I found an article online that said to make changes to the text in whatever Im importing, but umm it's a video, not text.
I am using AE cs5.
I can import the clips just fine into Premier Pro and export them oddly enough in Quicktime format just fine, however I lose the transperency "pre-keyed" , that's somehow embedded into the original video, therefore I now have a video of smoke, but with a non removable black background.
Please help! thanks!

Hey man i made an account just to reply to this, i had the same error come up while i was importing video files so i had a look around and found that it had something to do with the language/coding not being recognised, so i looked closer into the footage and tried different method of importing the file and later realised that after effects didnt recognise some of the characters in the file path way, the original folder was created using a macbook, windows recognises the language but after effects didnt, so i moved the file to my desktop and tried to import it again and presto it worked fine, you may not have the same problem but i thought just incase you do, you should try moving the file,
if not heres a thread for the error:
http://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/kb/error-could-convert-unicode-characters.html
hope that could be of some help.

" could not convert Unicode characters (23::46) "

There is some character in the file name or the path name for the file that After Effects doesn't recognize. What is the full path and file name of this project?

After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23::46) CS6

Hello I just created a project in AE CC and wanted to save also a version for CS6.
All went ok but when I tried to open the project in CS6 I received the following error:
"After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23::46)"
Does anyone know what that means and how to fix it?

After Effects CC is much, much better at handling characters that are outside of the character set used by the OS at its current language settings. So, file names and paths (and other strings) that work fine in After Effects CC and later may fail with earlier versions.
For example, if you are running your OS and applications in English and have Chinese characters in your file names, After Effects CS6 and earlier will fail, but After Effects CC and earlier will succeed.

Hey Sergiusz,
You were bang on target...
Though it took some time for me to resolve the issue...
to use SQLExecDirectW I need my query in SQLWCHAR *, which is stored in char * in my case...
So i converted the incoming query using MultibyteToWideChar Conversion with CodePage as CP_UTF8 and
then passed it on to SQLExecDirectW...
It solved my problem
Thanks,
Pratik...

Insert Unicode Characters Into Oracle 8.1.5

Hello,
First off, here are the specs:
Oracle 8.1.5
JDK 1.2.1
Oracle8i 8.1.6.2.0 JDBC Drivers for use with JDK 1.2.x for Solaris
I'm running into a problem with insert Unicode characters into Oracle via the JDBC driver. As you can see above, I am using the Oracle 8.1.6.2.0 JDBC driver because it is the first driver with supports the JDK 1.2.x. So I think I should be okay.
I can retrieve data with special characters from Oracle by calling the getBytes() method from the ResultSet with all special characters being intact. I am using getBytes because calling getString() would throw the following exception: "java.sql.SQLException(): Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv". However, with that value that I just retrieved, or any other data with special characters (unicode) in which I try to insert into Oracle does not get converted properly.
What appears to be happening is that data with special characters (unicode), are not being treated as a single double byte character, but rather two single byte characters. Thus, R|ckschlagventil becomes RC<ckschlagventil once it is inserted. (Hopefully, my example will be rendered properly).
According to all documentation that I have found, the JDBC driver should not have any problem with converting UCS2 Java Strings to Oracle's UTF8 character set.
I have set Oracle's NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET to UTF8. I am also setting the environment variable NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. Perhaps there is some other environment setting in which I am missing?
Any help would be appreciated,
Christian

Converting hexadecimal XML data to a string

Hello!
Until now I generated XML data with the FM 'SDIXML_DOM_TO_XML'.
After that I did a loop over the xml_as_table in which I was casting each line of that table to a string.
ASSIGN <line> TO <line_c> CASTING.
After the inftroduction of unicode in our system I get a error:
In the current program an error occured when setting the field symbol <LINE_C> with ASSIGN or ASSIGNING (maybe in combination with the CASTING addition).
When converting the base entry of the field symbol <LINE_C> (number in base table: 32776), it was found that the target type requests a memory alignment of 2
What does it mean? Does somebody have a solution.
I need this function for sending this XML data as string over a simple old CPIC connection.

Is there a list of Unicode characters that can be used in Acrobat bookmarks?

I can add Greek characters to Acrobat bookmarks using hexadecimal strings. For example, to print a lower case gamma symbol I use <FEFF03B3>. FEFF is the required Unicode flag and 03B3 is the Unicode code for gamma. This works fine. However, there are no Unicode entries for greek characters in the PDF 32000-1:2008 PDF Specification manual. Table D.2 - PDFDocEncoding Character Set on page 656 lists Unicode characters and these also work when added to bookmarks but no Greek codes are in this table. Since I can sucessfully use Greek Unicode characters in the range of 0x0391 - 0x03CE and these characters are not listed in the PDF manual I am assuming there are additional Unicode character that will work in bookmarks. Therefore, I am looking for a complete list of Unicode characters that can be used in Acrobat's bookmarks. Does such a list exist?

Thank you for the response.
I'm sorry to hear there is no list available. I'm building the Acrobat bookmarks automatically. The input data contains entity codings (for example, a lower case Greek gamma is coded as γ) and I was hoping to be able to just pass these through with an automatic conversion to a hexadecimal string (for example <FEFF03B3>). If I had a list of valid Unicode characters, that will display in an Acrobat bookmark, I could validate each entity before the conversion and catch the ones that won't display correctly. I know these types of characters are out there because I have already come across them. For example, a superscript 5 (0x2075) displays fine in MSWord but shows as a white box in a bookmark. Now I'll need to proof the output PDFs and look for white boxes in the bookmarks so that I can build my list of unicode characters that do not work in Acrobat bookmarks.
Again, thanks for your help.

Unicode characters not displayed in text property

I am developing a web application with Flex Builder. I write
the text for each label using a font called Dhivehi which is
written from left to right, and then copy the text and paste it in
the label property called text.
However in the source code view the text property of the
label shows
text=""
The issue is that when rendered the text is rversed. So I
want to run a function once the application is loaded, to reverse
the text in the label, so that the text will appear in it's
original way.
any help will be very much appreciated

Hi,
I have a strange problem here with Windows.Forms.RichTextBox, when I assign a .ToString() value of sting builder to a rich text box’s .Rtf Property the Unicode characters containing in string builder gets converted to ???? symbols in .Rtf property of rich
text box.
Could you please let me know if Rich text box’s .Rtf property can hold Unicode characters? or is there any other way to store the Unicode characters in rich text box?
Thanks & Regards,
Tabarak
Hello,
To clarify and help you get proper solution, I would recommend you share a rtf string or even a simple sample which could reproduce that issue with us.
We will based on that sample to help you.
