International Characters in PDF Forms are not shown correctly (Adobe Reader 11.0.06)

I have a PDF form served from a web application and shown in Internet Explorer and want to put in string values with norwegian letter like 'ÅRE ØRE ÆRE'.
These are not shwon correctly when I toggle "Highlight Existing Fields" and the focus is not on the text field in question.
I am runing on Windows 7.

I cannot reproduce this using a test form I created: https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/e6b390e1-625c-4f59-86c5-c2ca07998279
Does the same thing happen with the form above? If not, can you share your form with us: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

Support issue for non-English characters (in html forms)

Hi group!
I just want to post an issue here and see if anyone else has the same problem. First off, Im running Windows XP MCE but the French version (not the english version). This may help find out where the problem really is.
Second, I know a bit of html and such, and I'm referring to HTML Character entities for this thread, there's a quite complete list here for reference: http://www.faqs.org/docs/htmltut/characterentitiesfamsupp69.html
I noticed that some, not all, non-English characters written in a textarea (which is, basically, a multi-lined input box) doesnt pass well or at all to the server when sending the form from Safari. Most of the time, the content of the text area is reduced to the beginning and ends where the first accentued character is met.
The most used French accents (é, à) are usually well interpreted (but may, once in a while, produce that bug too) by safari, but ô and î doesnt do that well.
Oddly, this bug doesnt happen all the time and doesnt "crash" in the same manner everytime.
So I started a thread just to see if there's anyone else having issues with any non-english characters mostly in forms. Probably flash/shockwave does work, but I'm not sure- I have not tested yet.

Yes, it is a known issue. I also noticed that it sometimes works, but most of the time it does not. It will hopefully be solved in the future. According to http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ changes that will come include:
# Support for International users
# International text input methods
# Advanced text (contextual forms, international scripts)

How to add special characters in Flash CS3

Hi, i need the help of some flash guru… these last weeks we were working with cloversites.com to build a community website… the interface is awesome etc etc however we in Malta have eight special characters (GCZ with a dot on top of them and an H with a second strikethrough). Those at cloversites wrestled with the problem, they could see the characters on their computers but when they entered the text in the site, flash couldn't render the special characters. Here is their message:
I am extremely sorry about this, but we were unable to add in your characters. We attempted to add them into our software but they did not work. We worked on it all morning and realized that we need an extra add-on for our keyboards. Adding special characters is nothing new to us and have answered this request for many of our international users. For some reason, the Maltese characters did not work in our sites. For example, our "option-G" is the copyright symbol so it will need to be transferred over to international characters.
Unfortunately, we thing that this has to do with Adobe Flash CS3. The software allowed me to embed the characters, but we were unable to render them on the web. Which led us to think it had to do with the version Adobe is running and its inability to render the text through its software on the web. None of the characters worked on the web, and it looks like its just an Adobe bug. So we are able to type and use the Maltese characters, but Adobe Flash is having trouble with them.
Does anybody know of any possible solution?

see if codepoints-to-string() is suitable for you ..

Parsing International Characters

Hi folks,
I am trying to parse an xml document which has international characters like "�" (accentuated e used in french). But my parser crashes trying to parse a document containing these characters:
System.out.println("******************* 1");
DocumentBuilderFactory lFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.
newInstance();
System.out.println("******************* 2");
DocumentBuilder lDB = lFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
System.out.println("******************* 3");
lDoc = lDB.parse(new FileInputStream(pFileName));
System.out.println("******************* 4");
The exception occures after 3rd println. Here is what I get:

Then you don't have a well-formed XML document. If it doesn't declare its encoding in its prolog <?xml version="1.0" ?> then it should be encoded in UTF-8 (or, less likely, some variant of UTF-16) and it's probably encoded in ISO-8859-1 or something like that. If that's the case then fix the prolog to declare the encoding: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> or encode the document in UTF-8.

SAPSCRIPT: Printing international characters on ZEBRA; How to do?

Hi,
I use software NiceLabel software to design barcode forms. I upload the design to so10 Sapscript text and print it on the Zebra ptinter. I used device tape ASCIIPRI. The SAP system is unicode.
Now I need to print chinese pallet labels and I get unexpected problems. I found a lot information but no solution. Is it possible to print international charcters form SAPScript on Zebra?
I got the information from Zebra's White Paper: Solution for Printing International Characters. There it says:
"Unicode UTF-8 is embedded within Zebra printers."
"SAP Forms can be universal. Labels and forms ... do not need to be modified or recreated to print in different languages."
"SAP-developed UTF-8 device type and code page support for SAPscript users"
"Label design software that can generate ZPL with support for Unicode ZPL commands"
Do you now which device type I have to use? I think I need an UTF-8 device type. Do you know how to go on?
Please help. Thanks
Frank

Hi Frank,
as far as I know, it might be possible when using SMARTFORMS instead of SAPScript!
In that case, it depends of the device type and the printer type, of course.
Have a look on SAP Note 750002 SmartForms: Support für Zebra Etikettendrucker (ZPL2).
Cheers

Firefox Chrome Showing ???? instead of International Characters

Hi,
I have a flash movie at this site
http://preview.tinyurl.com/5289rz
When you click on the rendered thumb nail (with a link
containing international characters) it takes you to a URL with
those same characters in IE 7 it displays international characters
and takes you to a correct page but in Firefox, Chrome and Opera
the international characters are displayed correctly in the flash
movie, but the URL turns those characters into question marks ????
and the pages shows a 404 not found error.

Does that mean we should ignore those millions of users
around the world that would be plain foolish. I am here to get this
problem solved not to be told to just ignore users who use other
browsers.

Displaying International Characters

Some users have been concerned about the fact that Buzzword
does not display some international characters - ranging from Greek
to Russian. This is accentuated by the fact that we have Buzzword
users in well over 100 countries.
The problem occurs when users attempt to insert some
international characters - say, the Greek letter omega - and
Buzzword instead displays a dot on the screen. Here's what's going
on, for anyone interested:
Like virtually all modern software, Buzzword adheres to the
Unicode standard, where characters are defined with 16 bits,
resulting in a total of over 65,000 possible characters.
However, unlike most desktop software, Buzzword must use
something called "embedded fonts". This means that we can't read
fonts off a user's computer, but instead we have to download fonts
from our server.
This is where our challenge begins. A font family contains
characters - called "glyphs" when drawn on the screen - for some
portion of the 65,000 possible characters defined by Unicode. Each
available character is downloaded as a small program containing
instructions on how to draw the glyph. The instructions are
relatively small, but each takes time to download - you can see
evidence of this in our "loading fonts" progress bar.
For Buzzword to load relatively quickly, we need to limit the
number of characters downloaded with each of our seven font
families. Most people use far fewer than 65,000 characters, so for
our first phase of deployment, we identified a couple hundred
characters to download for each font family. Because our initial
market focus was North America, we chose characters from Latin-1,
the Western European character set.
The result: when a user attempts to enter the Greek letter
omega, Buzzword recognizes the Unicode character but does not have
the downloaded instructions to display the glyph on the screen. The
little dot that is displayed instead is an indication that the
requested glyph has not been downloaded with the font set.. If the
user were to export the document to be read by a desktop program,
the glyph would probably be displayed using the computer's fonts.
Longer term, we'll handle this differently by downloading
fonts dynamically, based on the document's contents and a user's
settings. In the meantime, we apologize to everyone who uses
characters outside the Western European set. We will work to get
you a solution as soon as we possibly can.

quote:
Like virtually all modern software, Buzzword adheres to the
Unicode standard, where characters are defined with 16 bits,
resulting in a total of over 65,000 possible characters.
Actually, Unicode (the standard) does not care about the
number of bits.
It has enough space to encode more than one million
characters, and the current version (Unicode 5.1) already encodes
more than 100,000 characters (
http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/)
quote:
Buzzword must use something called "embedded fonts".
Nothing prevents Flash/Flex from using fonts "html style".
In fact, Buzzword can add a "Generic sans-serif" font as an
option (font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;) with
zero effort.
The document will not look the same on all computers, but
this might be better than the current bullets.
So this is not a "must".

International characters in IOS filenames

Hello,
My movie compiles fine but when I add this file name to the package:
ahí1.wav
I get an applicationverificationfailed message when I try to send it to the device from flash cc
if I rename it to:
ahi1.wav
It will work without failure.
I've got hundreds of files that have international characters do I have to rename them all or is there a special flag, switch, or trick I can use to get around this?

Stefan,
It's good news that you are not having this problem, as it means that perhaps I won't shortly either. If we can characterize the differences between our setups, maybe I can have the same result as you do.
I've just run the obvious case - I've created a file using TextEdit with a German name out on the volume from the Mac, stopped TextEdit, and successfully retrieved it. So it doesn't look like a filesystem mounting issue. I wonder what is so weird about these files. There must be something odd in the header, because it is definitely at the file info level that it is going off the rails. While the name is the obvious differentiator, maybe something else is odd as well.
One thing I could try is to zip one of the directories affected on the Windows side and then try unzipping it into place there, then boot over to the Mac side and see if things have improved. If that doesn't resolve the problem, I could try unzipping it into place on the Mac side, but first I'll boot over to the Windows side and make sure it can read the file I just created in TextEdit from that end.
By the way, the KB article you referenced was about shares and about problems with punctuation mounting Mac shares on Windows, so I don't think it pertains. In any case, I'm mounting a FAT volume, not a share, so the drivers would be completely different.
Anyway, thank you for your help. Now that I'm no longer chasing phantoms, I can attend the real problem.
Thanks,
Ralph

International characters and mod_plsql

We are having troubles with mod_plsql translating international characters.
Here is the scenario:
We have an HTML form whereby the user can enter a letter.
If they enter the letter 'X', by the time it calls the ACTION in the
html form, it has changed it from 'X' to '&_Oslash' (I have inserted an
underscore character for demonstration purposes).
The ACTION in the HTML form is a plsql procedure which does nothing more
than display the character the user entered. It "visually" displays the
X character because the browser knows how to interpret the &_Oslash,
however the "real" character should have been 'X' since we want to store
this character in the UTF8 database. We need to store the 'X' character
in order to search on it (you can't search on &_Oslash).
Any help on this would be appreciated. We only have thousands of hotels internationally,
it would be nice to use other languages besides english.
Sun OS 5.8
9ias 1.0.2.2.0
mod_plsql 3.0.9.8.3b
rdbms 8.1.7.3.0
NLS_CHARACTERSET=UTF8 (and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET)
NLS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN
owa_util plsql toolkit 3.0.0.0.5
Thanks, Kate

I'm picking up the IP address but I also want to pick up the name the username and the %u doesn't seem to be capturing the mod_plsql login name.

Host Header Flash Forms Problems

Hello,
I'm running CFMX 7.01 on IIS 6, Windows 2003 Server....
I've created an intranet application that uses several flash
forms. The site is located in the folder of
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CorpComWeb. This can be referenced from the
Default website by
http://sandy/corpcomweb/ OR
http://CorpComm (after adding an
internal DNS host header and then referencing it in Website -
Advanced - Host header value). This works great for every page
EXCEPT the two pages that contain CF Flash Forms. When I try to
access these pages using
http://CorpComm/flashformpage.cfm it spins into infinity (no
error just never loads). If I access the page by
http://sandy/corpcomweb/ the
page loads fine.
Any ideas as to why this would be?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, stupid mistake on my part.
When creating the new site in IIS, I forgot to add a virtual
directory pointing to CFIDE...

Convert Coldfusion Flash form to PDF?

Is it possible to convert a Coldfusion flash based form to a PDF form? I've tried it using Coldfusion 8 and Adobe Professional 8, but all I end up with is a blank PDF. It works just fine for a basic HTML based form. Is there some technical reason this doesn't work?... Because it seems rather stupid that ADOBE Coldfusion and ADOBE Acrobat don't work together properly.

It's an internal form, so i don't have any link. But the form is constructed using the standard flash form tags... example: <cfform name="form" action="exampleform.cfm" format="Flash"> <cfformitem> <cfformgroup> <cfinput> <cfselect> The entire form is mostly just a mix of those tags. Pretty standard stuff, but Adobe 8 Professional simply won't convert the form to PDF. Or, actually, it does but the form is blank. I'm usually just left with the graphic from the top of the page which likes outside the <cfform> tags.

Flash Forms Not Appearing

I have an intranet web site on a server that I manage. I have
flash forms up and running on a daily basis.
I just recently added another website to the same box, with a
new IP Address. I copied the Flash forms over to the new site, but
none of them work.
The error I get is "lc_id is undefined". on line 175.
There is no lc_id in any of my databases, or any of my cfm
pages. There never has been. I suspect this is an internal file
used by the flash form. Heck, none of the pages in question even
have a line 175!
Is there something that I need to turn on in IIS to get Flash
to work on the new site? Permission changes perhaps?

Fixed.
I just had to copy my CFIDE directory from the working site
to the new site.

I Need Dire Help Making a Flash Form

Hello, I need some serious help creating a Flash Form.
I Have used a template from another site with the following
input boxes:
Name: __________
Email: __________
Comments: ____________
However, i had the script working fine, along with its php
script,
when i was trying to add more "text" boxes, i must have
messed the script up somhow.
When I submit that form, the name is send and email, but the
email is blank.. ie, there is no "comments"
here is the code:
on submit button:
on (release) {
// send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)
// to email PHP page which will send the mail
form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
sent email messege
onClipEvent(data){
// show welcome screen
_root.nextFrame();
and the php script (mailer.php)
php form email.pho
<?php
* PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script. For more
* information on the mail() function for PHP, see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
// First, set up some variables to serve you in
// getting an email. This includes the email this is
// sent to (yours) and what the subject of this email
// should be. It's a good idea to choose your own
// subject instead of allowing the user to. This will
// help prevent spam filters from snatching this email
// out from under your nose when something unusual is put.
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$subject = "My Flash site reply";
// variables are sent to this PHP page through
// the POST method. $_POST is a global associative array
// of variables passed through this method. From that, we
// can get the values sent to this page from Flash and
// assign them to appropriate variables which can be used
// in the PHP mail() function.
// header information not including sendTo and Subject
// these all go in one variable. First, include From:
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ".
$_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";
// next include a replyto
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
// often email servers won't allow emails to be sent to
// domains other than their own. The return path here will
// often lift that restriction so, for instance, you could
send
// email to a hotmail account. (hosting provider settings may
vary)
// technically bounced email is supposed to go to the
return-path email
$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];
// now we can add the content of the message to a body
variable
$message = $_POST["message"];
// once the variables have been defined, they can be included
// in the mail function call which will send you an email
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
If anyone can see why the "comments" section is not being
sent?
Also: My original problem was how do you add more text boxes.
I want something like this:
Name:
Address:
Phone:
Mobile:
Email:
Website:
Comments:
Ive spent days and days trying to work out how to first make
a form that actually works, then add more text fields
Ive looked at many basic form tutorials, but they all seem to
only have 3 or 4 text fields.. Name, Email, Comments... etc
I haven't a clue how to edit the script both in action script
and php to add more fields easy.
I really need some help with this, its turning into a
nightmare for me.
I can provide someone with my .fla project file if they care
to take a look at what im doing wrong.
Thanks
Pan
ps. Please note: "$sendTo = "[email protected]";" =
this line i know i must put in my own email.

This is all about timelines. It seems there is a movieclip
named 'form' (or possibly an actionscript object, can't tell). Any
variables created on that timeline are sent.
So you could have your new textfields on another timeline.
Or you could have textfields with no instance name in the
form timeline.
Those are the first two things to look at. Post the FLA and
we can tell you more specifically.
