IPlanet setting to properly display Spanish characters in PDF Document?

I have a bilingual PDF document (Spanish and English). The document displays correctly on multiple other systems (Unix/Weblogic, NT4, IIS), but when I move it up to my server that is running iPlanet, the Spanish characters do not display properly. Since it displays fine in other environments, I am guessing it is a setting that needs to be changed in iPlanet and not something that needs to be changed with my PDF document. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much in advance.

Hi,
I am not sure if you are referring to the users creating your forms or the users using your forms.
In terms of typing charactes if the keyboard is set so that you can type spanish characters and the font you are in has those characters then they will be entered into the form, both when creating and filling of the form.
There is nothing specific that needs to be done to the form to allow this, it just accepts the characters that the OS passes to it from the keyboard.
(Point of note: if you are specifying a font to be used this would need to contain the characters that you want to use).
If I have misunderstood the problem then I apologise and if you provide more detail I can investigate further.
Regards
Malcolm

To display spanish characters on a JSP when the JSP is inside one portal

Hi All,
Previously, I had posted my query here that how to display spanish characters on a JSP screen.
I got a solution that to add
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
to the JSP and to save the JSP in 'UTF-8'encoding format.
This works well in case an individual JSP. But when I am adding the JSP to a web project consisting of many other JSP pages, its not working.
Do I have to change anything else.
Please help me if you have any suggestions. I am eagerly waiting for any response.
Thanks in advance.

I used to have a similar problem. I have jsp pages in braz. portugese and for these I have <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">When I tried setting the contentType to UTF-8, the way you wrote foreign characters didn't get submitted properly from input fields so I took it away, then everything worked correctly. Don't know why though.

The "blue bar" no longer properly displays Chinese characters.

I recently updated my Adobe Reader from 7 to 9.4, and since doing so, Firefox no longer displays Chinese characters in the title bar. Instead, I now only see question marks.
I've added Chinese to the preferred languages and also tried switching the browser's text to Unicode, but neither of these has made a difference.
It's certainly a minor issue, but if anyone knows what to do, I'd greatly appreciate the help!
Thanks!

A possible cause is that Firefox has a problem with the (system) font that is used to display the Chinese characters on the title bar.
Were any new fonts installed recently?
You can try to use the system file checker to see if there are any problems with font files.

Problem displaying Arabic characters in PDF using Java APIs

We are experiencing a problem when attempting to display Arabic characters within a PDF document using the Java APIs.
The relevant Java code is as follows:
RTFProcessor processor = new RTFProcessor("example.rtf" );
processor.setOutput( “example.xsl” );
processor.setExtractXLIFF(true);
processor.process();
ByteArrayOutputStream dataOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
DataProcessor dataProcessor = new DataProcessor();
dataProcessor.setDataTemplate( example.xdt" );
if( parameterValues != null && parameterValues.length > 0 )
setReportParameters( dataProcessor, parameterValues ); // method to set any report parameters from the parameterValues list.
dataProcessor.setConnection( jdbcConnection );
dataProcessor.setOutput(dataOut);
dataProcessor.processData();
FOProcessor foProcessor = new FOProcessor();
foProcessor.setLocale( locale );
foProcessor.setData( new ByteArrayInputStream( dataOut.toByteArray() ) );
foProcessor.setTemplate( “example.xsl” );
String xliffFileNameAndPath = getXLIFFFile( “example”, locale );
if( xliffFileNameAndPath != null )
foProcessor.setXLIFF( xliffFileNameAndPath );
foProcessor.setOutput( "example.pdf" );
foProcessor.setOutputFormat(
outputFormat == PDF_FORMAT ? FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF : FOProcessor.FORMAT_HTML );
foProcessor.generate();
The method getXLIFFFile( ) gets the relevant XLIFF file for the supplied report locale (if it exists) – the three test files that we used were Italian (example_it_IT.xlf), Spanish (example_es_ES.xlf) and Arabic (example_ar_AE.xlf).
I imported the following JAR files from the XML Publisher release (version 5.6.2) into my Java application: collections.jar, i18nAPI_v3.jar, versioninfo.jar, xdocore.jar and xmlparserv2.jar.
The output is OK for all three translations in HTML format, using a charset of UTF-8, and for Italian and Spanish in PDF format. However, the Arabic characters display as question marks in PDF format. The same issue occurs if I stream the output as a byte array straight to the HTTP response rather than save within a file.
Note that the same RTF, XDT and XLIFF files produce the correct output in both HTML and PDF when executed within XMLPublisher.
Thank you

Hi
I had a similar issue with arabic chars. With PDF layout, chars were appearing properly when preveiwd on local m/c, but as I implement file on server, it was displayed as ?????. I had raised a TAR 5798348.993 with oracle about this and they suggested to apply patch 4028294 Oracle Sourcing J Rollup and then patch 4182914. But later my users changed requirement and i cud not apply the patch to test if it works fine.
But here, you have suggested that installing fonts would do. Is it really that simple? If yes, dont know what is that patch for which I was told to apply.

Allowing Spanish characters in PDF forms

I'd like to develop a PDF form primarily for Spanish speaking users. Is it possible to allow Spanish characters in a PDF form? I know setting the "default locale" in LC has nothing to do with this, so is it a matter of system settings (ie. keyboard settings) on the user's machine?
Has anyone every tried this before?
Thanks

Hi,

How to display more than one PDF-Document

Can anyone tell me how i can show more that one pdf-form without having to use the container-window in the sdk-example. i would like to open and show a number of pdf-documents and react e.g. when a form closes.

I don't have an answer, but it may help if you post more imformation

How to set not editable property in elements of pdf document

Hi,
I have developed a web dynpro with pdf intercative form, but when I drag and drop the elements of data source into pdf they are in inpu-field mode (editable).
I want to that fields are in text mode and therefore they are not editable.
How to solve this problem?
Thanks
Alfonso.

hi,
With respect to your problem of making UI elements as non editable, you need to do the following
Select the element on the Interactive PDF
then to the right you could see the properties like Layout, Border, Accessibility and Object.
Select Object: and under that select Value.
here you find the option of making it as non editable by selecting Read Only option.
Hope this solves your problem.
let me know if you have any further issues.

Itunes won't display Asian Characters (Korean, Japanese, and Chinese)

For some reason, with the most recent update to iTunes, my library is no longer properly displaying Korean characters. It is instead replacing them with boxes. It was and has worked fine for the longest time and I haven't made any other changes that would affect the language packs with my windows 7 64bit. However, when I play a song in iTunes and I have MSN Messenger running, the messenger will correctly display the current song I'm listening. I'm just hoping that if I sync my iPhone with my library, these characters will not appear as squares there as well. I've seen suggestions for switching my operating system language setting to Korean, but as I'm not completely fluent I'd hate to get stuck not knowing how to navigate my way around because I can't read/understand something. Can someone please find a solution for this.

I didn't have the problem of showing boxes, but I had a similar problem of the korean characters showing in symbols. To fix, I (1) right clicked on the song. (2) Chose Convert ID3 Tags. (3) Checked "Reverse Unicode" Box, then hit "OK". You can highlight as many songs as you want at once and still perform the same thing, to save you time.
Hope this helps you.

Spanish Characters in CFMX

Hello all, my web host has moved us to a Windows 2003 server
running CFMX from a Windows 2000 with CF5. In both cases the
database used for content was MySQL 4.1.5.
Now here's the thing, in the old 2000/CF5 server combination,
all Spanish Characters like í, é, ó, á etc
would display correctly across the site. We have a bilingual site.
As soon as we were moved to the new 2003/CFMX combination server,
we are getting garbage instead of the correct characters everywhere
and it's driving me off the walls trying to figure out what can be
done as the web host clearly doesn't.
Suggestions?

They have just replied telling me the only way to solve the
problem, which seems to be working is to add the following code to
the beginning of any template displaying Spanish characters. I will
go for that for now and keep checking if a simpler solution is on
the way or already exists. Thanks folks:
Here's their letter:
This is an issue that is inherent with Colfussion MX 7, and
one issue that Coldfussion has not created an easy fix for. So far
the only way we have been able to do it is, instead of using the
"SetLocale" function we used a direct character "cfset SetEncoding"
command to format the text with a Latin ISO number.
Basically, on any pages where you need Spanish characters
displayed you must put this code in the beginning of the page:
<see code below>
This tells the page to execute the code in Spanish
format.

Select RTF Data and display in PDF Document

Hi all,
I have a simple table:
CONTENT_ID - NUMBER
CONTENT - VARCHAR2(4000)
On top of this table I have a form that allows the user to enter / update data. The 'CONTENT' field is a Rich Text Editor (ApEx 4.0 - CKEditor 3). This allows the user to enter and format their text as they require.
I need to be able to select this data and display it in a PDF Document (via BI Publisher).
I therefore have a simple query
select content from content_table where content_id = 1;and a simple template that processes the resulting xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROWSET>
   <ROW>
      <CONTENT>& lt;h2& gt;
     This is a heading& lt;/h2& gt;
& lt;p& gt;
     This is the text& lt;/p& gt;
</CONTENT>
   </ROW>
</ROWSET>(There is not really a space between the & and 'lt' etc but I had to add this to get it to display correctly here).
Where I run this past my template I get a PDF with:
<h2>
This is a heading</h2>
<p>
This is the text</p>I get the same if I generate HTML.
but what I want to see is the text formatted as the user has entered in the RTF editor.
Can this be done?
Many thanks,
Martin

I think your mixing 2 technologies.
At 1 side you have xml in combination with xsl (style sheets used in BI Publisher and FOP) to generate your pdf. And at the other side you have HTML...
XML and HTML are 2 entirely different technologies which you can not mix this simple. I investigated the same problem as you had, and in the end I ended up using jasperreports instead of FOP.
Maybe BI Publisher has some html regions which you could insert into your word document but I doubt it cause more people have asked the same question on this board...
So my advice: use jasperreports (also it is free for commercial usage)
Success

Incorrect font display in pdf document(web view)

Adobe helpers,
I am encountering a very peculiar problem with incorrect display of fonts in pdf documents when viewed in a web browser. Briefly, the problem typically affects the first page of a pdf document, the font being displayed as an unidentified mix of large and very small, skinny type. Other pages may or may not be affected, and if one back-clicks to the previous page the text often displays the correct font, so the problem is in some (but not all) cases non-persistent. The problem however is resolved completely if I uncheck the 'display pdf in browser' option under edit>preferences in adobe reader. Fonts I use include Arial, Cambria, Franklin Gothic Book, and Garamond; as straight-up pdfs, the documents look fine. FYI, I have Adobe reader X 10.0.1 (Win 7) and 9.0 (Win XP sp3) installed on two different machines. Firefox 3.6 and IE9 are equally at fault. FWIW, all the pdf documents begin life as MS Word or Publisher 2010 documents, which are converted to pdf within these applications before publishing to web. Since I can't control how people choose to view web pdfs, I'm concerned that display of the prone documents is impaired when viewed in a web browser.
Not sure if this is a reader, browser, or distiller problem but this seems a logical place to start looking for answers. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I've also had problems printing with Reader X.
When printing an attachment from an email in Outlook, if I don't open the attachment first, sometimes it doesn't print correctly as everything shows with the following number or letter. Example 12345 will print as "23456" and invoice will show as "jowpjdf". Even if I open the attachment, sometimes it will print the first page ok, but the next pages will "mppl mjlf uijt".
Never had this problem with previous versions.

Spanish characters on Iplanet 6.0 SP5

Hi, a couple of days ago I installed Iplanet 6.0 SP5 on a solaris platform but spanish characters like � � � � � � are not recognize it when I tried to get a web page with those characters.
I already made a research on this forums for a solution, but there is not anough information.
Any ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks

There's a big difference between the set-cache-control SAF and the HttpServletResponse.addHeader API. set-cache-control understands the HTTP protocol version in use and, if that version supports Cache-control header fields, adds a Cache-control header. HttpServletResponse.addResponse blindly adds any header you specify.
If you want to use HttpServletResponse.addHeader to add a Cache-control header to a response in Web Server, you can do so. The meaning of that header isn't defined by the HTTP/1.0 protocol, however.
