DW8 ANSI Encoding

Hi
I have been compiling some asp files for a forum and there
was an issue with
displaying the UK £ Pound sign and the resolution was to
save the file in
the ANSI encoding and not UTF-8 encoding.
How can we preset the preferences so that the file format is
in ANSI
encoding as a default?
thanks andy

CONVERSION FROM ANSI ENCODED FILE TO UTF-8 ENCODED FILE

Hi All,
I have some issues in conversion of ANSI encoded file to utf encoded file. let me tell you in detail
I have installed the Language Support for Thai Language on My Operating System.
now, when I open my notepad and add thai character on the file and save it as ansi encoding. it saves it perfectly and also I able to see it on opening the file again.
This file need to be read by my application , store in database and should display thai character on jsp after fetching the data from database. Currently it is showing junk character on jsp reason being that my database (UTF8 compliant database) has junk data . it has junk data because my application is not able to read it correctly from the file.
If I save the file with encoding as UTF 8 it works fine. but my business requirement is such that the file is system generated and by default it is encoded in ANSI format. so I need to do the conversion of encoding from ANSI to UTF8 . so Any of you can guide me on the same how to do this conversion ?
Regards
Gaurav Nigam

Guessing the encoding of a text file by examining its contents is tricky at best, and should only be done as a last resort. If the file is auto-generated, I would first try reading it using the system default encoding. That's what you're doing whenever you read a file with a FileReader. If that doesn't work, try using an InputStreamReader and specifying a Thai encoding like TIS-620 or cp838 (I don't really know anything about Thai encodings; I just picked those out of a quick Google search). Once you've read the file correctly, you can write the text to a new file using an OutputStreamWriter and specifying UTF-8 as the encoding. It shouldn't really be necessary to transcode files like this, but without knowing a lot more about your situation, that's all I can suggest.
As for native2ascii, it isn't for encoding conversions. All it does is replace each non-ASCII character with its six-character Unicode escape, so "voilá" becomes "voil\u00e1". In other words, it avoids the problem of character encodings by converting the file's contents to a form that can be stored as ASCII. It's mainly used for converting property or resource files to a form that can be read by the Properties and ResourceBundle classes.

CSV fomrat with ANSI encoding file Crystal report

Hi All
We are using Business Object XI Release 2 web intelligence/Crystal report to configrure the report send to client
if I configure Character-seperated values format for crystal report template it generate the CSV file in UTF-8 encoding
how to generate character-seperated values format file for crystal report in ANSI encoding
Thanks

Hi
Bryan Thanks for your help. i am thinking to create an independent Java or C++ program to change the file from UTF-8 to ANSI char set
and shchedule to run to change csv file char set before mail it to client by BO
In this design how we can get the event by BO that file has been created and yet to send by email or FTP
I can see two type of event
Event to Wait for
Event to Trigger on complition
if i create two event
CSV_UTF8_CREATED - will be fire by BO once BO create file and yet to send email
CSV_ANSI_CREATED - will be fire by program once it convert from UTF_8 to ANSI
please guide if its possible to create such event and fire by BO on file creation and yet to send to destination

Output file in ANSI Encoding.

Hi,
I have created a serch and replace program which works fine with normal text files.
But it doesn't work with oracle database dump files because I think they are ANSI encoded.
Can someone body please point me in the right direction.
My program;
Gets source file
Gets find and replace strings.
Makes a copy of the source file saves all the replaced matched sequences in the new file.

Your problem is most likely an encoding problem.
Unfortunately there is usually no automated way to solve this unless you have a way to know the encoding of all your input files.
Read [this excellent introduction into Unicode|http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html] for an explanation.

Outbound interface - Generating files with ANSI encoding.

Hi All,
I am able to generate output files with txt extension. But it is generating in UTF-8 encoding files, myself when i open the files in notepad, i find UTF-8 and when opened in wordpad i find ANSI. My user wants it in ANSI in any case.
One more thing my client's language is Spanish, where there will be special characters like Ñ, so if the file is in ANSI, will there be a problem for this characters.
Please help.

So which OS is to blame? The Mac seems to be inserting weird paragraph returns that Windows doesn't understand, no matter what type of file encoding you use (UTF-8, Western Windows Latin 1, Western DOS Latin 1).
My understanding is that TextEdit uses standard Unix type line endings, called LF (line feed, hex 0A). Windows stuff uses a different convention, CR + LF (0D 0A). If a Windows app will not display text just because it encounters something other than CR + LF, I'd say it probably has a bug of some sort.
Is there a solution to this probem?
I don't think the line endings of TextEdit can be changed. Some other apps like Text Wrangler offer you a choice in their preferences.

TextEdit - Save .TXT With ANSI Encoding?

Hi,
In Windows XP Notepad, the default type of Encoding for .txt files is ANSI. Can this be done in TextEdit, so that simple text files (not Rich Text) saved in either app are fully compatible with the other?

Indesign export pdf font encoding ansi custom

After exporting an Indesign document to a pdf, I was wondering why some fonts appear twice the same with different font encodings.
As example, the font TnTFormBSK-Light appears once as font encoding ansi and a second time as font encoding Custom.
The export is done on a Macintosh with Indesign version 5.04.
Also when you do a preflight check with the Heidelberg Prinect tools, you get a warning that the font is using the same font UID's.
When you are using a bullet character, after exporting you get always the same font twice with different font encodings, ansi and Identity-H.
This is a known issue: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=329611&sliceId=1
I didn't found any reason about why Indesign is using the same font with encoding "ansi" and "Custom" and the same UIDs!
Can someone explain these?

Hi,
First off, the ANSI encoding can only handle certain characters. If the font has characters which are beyond that encoding, and the glyphs for those characters are embedded in the PDF (either because you used those characters, or because the entire font was embedded for some reason), then InDesign will embed it as two fonts, one with ANSI encoding (for the characters that can be covered that way), and one with a custom encoding. Sometimes you'll see CID-keyed fonts resulting from this sort of thing as well.
If the PDF export is splitting the font into two, it should remove the UniqueID from at least one of those. Embedding two distinct fonts with the same UniqueID looks like a bug to me. I suggest you report that to Adobe, here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

How to change Font Encoding in PDF?

Hi,
We are creating PS file using 3B2 software and converting PS to PDF using Adobe Distiller 5.0 or 7.0 or 9.0.
In the created PDF some font are encoded in ANSI and Custom and also Roman, but I want font must be In ANSI encoding.
How can I convert Custom encoding into ANSI?
Do Installation want to change any thing in PS file? Or there is any way to convert Custom encoding into ANSI?
Regards
Thirusanguraja Venkatesan

It is not practical to do this. No tools exist because no developer would consider it necessary (all PDF tools must handle custom encodings). In the case you quote it is not even possible, because the font (math symbols) is not ASCII but symbolic.
Why do you want to achieve this? Perhaps we can suggest an alternative resolution.

How to upload Unicode encoding files from web?

Hi everyone,
I do not manage to upload Unicode encoding CSV files from web. Currently I use class CL_HTMLB_MANAGER to upload file from web. It works fine with ANSI encoding files, but file content is not uploaded correctly with Unicode encoding files. Especially I get innumerable characters u201C#u201D throughout the string that contains the file content (For example instead of u201CSAP CATALOG CSV 2.0u201D I get u201CÿþS#A#P# #C#A#T#A#L#O#G# #C#S#V# #2#.#0#u201D).
I did not find in forums a solution to my issue that is why I am now asking for your help.
How can I upload Unicode encoding files from web? Do you know another way to upload file from web that is Unicode compatible?
Remark: I tried to upload Unicode encoding files from SAP GUI using function module GUI_UPLOAD and upload is successful.

            iv_file_name = fileupload->file_name
          CHANGING
            cv_xcontent = fileupload->file_content.

How to read a text/html file in java regardless of its encoding?

Hi All,
How to read a text/html file in java regardless of its encoding?
1. Is there any way to identify that a file (read using FileInputStream/or any other means with java.io package) has been saved with which type of encoding i.e. whether the file is using ANSI encoding or Unicode encoding or other?
2. Is there any standard way to read an encoded file (i.e. files having UTF-16 format for Asian locales character support) and un-encoded file (i.e. files having ordinary ANSI format) correctly without knowing the user input?
The problem is that while creating an instance of 'InputStreamReader' (ISR) we can pass the encoding type used (otherwise it takes the system's default encoding type), and the ISR expects the file to be in the same encoding format otherwise it reads it as some junk. But we don't know which file the user is going to pass whether it is Unicode (for Asian locales file should be in Unicode) with or ANSI coded (for non-Asian / English locales user generally uses ANSI encoding).
Regards,
Sam

1. There is no reliable way of guessing the encoding of a file without that information. Thats why XML for example has very strict rules wrt. it's encoding (short form: use UTF-8 or UTF-16, if you use anything else, you'll have to specify it)
2. you might be able to make an educated guess if the possible range of encodings is limited, but it will probably never be 100% certain
3. The HTML file might have a header entry "<meta http-equiv..." that tells you about it's encoding. You could try to read the start of the file and see if you find that, then if you found it re-read the entire file.

Continuing font encoding and tag issues with snow leopard and CS4oI

I am looking for help with a font handling issue with snow leopard and cs4 Indesign. Despite numerous calls and hours on the phone neither Apple nor Adobe has been helpful. I have had this issue open with Adobe since oct 5 but they remain totally unresponsive to date. I need to be able to use Type 1 fonts and do the following , export a pdf from Indesign with the following attributes: 1) xml tags for stories and objects. 2) have the fonts encoded as ansi and embedded.
Some additional information - exporting to ps is not an option as it destroys the xml tags. and doesn't guarantee that the fonts won't become CID or some other odd encoding.
As it stands now,
Leopard (10.5.8) and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
Leopard (10.5.8) and CS4 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
Snow leopard and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts and xml tags
Snow leopard and CS4 creates custom subsetted fonts and some xml tags.
If any one has any advice on how to force specific font encodings from CS4 pdf exports so that i can preserve the tags and get the correct fonts I would be grateful.

The font encoding is not a function of the OS version, but rather of how a font is internally encoded and the content you are representing with the font.
If you are seeing a difference between MacOS 10.5 and 10.6 with the same Adobe software, it probably has something to do with use of a system font that is somehow different from one version of the OS to another. InDesign does not use any of the OS' font handling software.
Assuming that the fonts are embedded, subset or not, what is your issue with whether a font is ANSI-encoded, custom-encoded, or CID-encoded? It should make no difference for purposes of workflow beyond InDesign for software that adheres to the PDF specification (including all versions of PDF from 1.3 and up to 1.7 plus ISO 32000-1 PDF and all versions of PDF/X and PDF/A).
Neither InDesign or any other Adobe application provides user choices for the encoding since it shouldn't make a difference. The encodings chosen by Adobe's core technology components are for a combination of optimization and to support proper text search, copy, etc.

Export SQL View to Flat File with UTF-8 Encoding

I've setup a package in SSIS to export a SQL view to a flat file and it's working fine. I now need to make that flat file UTF-8 encoded. The package executes but still shows the files as ANSI encoded.
My package consists of a Source (SQL View) -> Derived Column (casts the fields to DT_WSTR) -> Destination Flat File (Set to output UTF-8 file).
I don't get any errors to help me troubleshoot further. I'm running SQL Server 2005 SP2.

Unless there is a Byte-Order-Marker (BOM - hex file prefix: EF BB BF) at the beginning of the file, and unless your data contains non-ASCII characters, I'm unsure there is a technical difference in the files, Paul.
That is, even if the file is "encoded" UTF-8, if your data is only ASCII values (decimal values 0-127, hex 00-7F), UTF-8 doesn't really serve a purpose over ANSI encoding. Now if you're looking for UTF-8 with specifically the BOM included, and your data is all standard ASCII, the Flat File Connection Manager can't do that, it seems.
What the flat file connection manager is doing correctly though, is encoding values that are over decimal 127/hex 7F in UTF-8 when the encoding of the connection manager is set to 65001 (UTF-8).
Example:
Input data built with a script component as a source (code at the bottom of this post) and with only one WSTR output column hooked to a flat file destination component:
a string containing only decimal value 225 (german Eszett character - ß)
Encoding set to ANSI 1252 looks like:
E1 0D 0A (which is the ANSI encoding of the decimal character value 225 (E1) and a CR-LF (0D 0A)
Encoding set to UTF-8 65001 looks like:
C3 A1 0D 0A (which is the UTF-8 encoding of the decimal character value 225 (C3 A1) and a CR-LF (0D 0A)
Note that for values over decimal 127, UTF-8 takes at least two bytes and up to four for the remaining values available.
So, I'm comfortable now, after sitting down and going through this, that the flat file connection manager is working correctly, unless you need a BOM.
