Hello,

I'm using C#, .Net, Cultures and I'm having trouble when I export my string that I've build to PDF. For example, it places a French "A" character where ever there is suppose to be a space. I'm primarily working with currency.

Anyone have any idea's? In HTML a space appears as it should, but in PDF that space is replaced by a French "A" Character...

Thanks a million.



 
I did some googling and found that a lot of developers using PDF cannot display french characters. There is a list of codes that you can type in to a PDF Editor that will produce the correct letters in french.

You may have to replace these letters in a string with these codes instead. I suggest creating a sample of the french PDF using these codes to find out what characters are actually stored in the file. Then replace your text with the appropriate characters.
 
This is often the result of sending a UTF-8 string to an application that doesn't understand it.

Chip H.
