Wrong currenccy icon when export to pdf with syncfusion - syncfusion

I have a Datatable like this
I use syncfusion version 7.403.0.20 to export PDF but some currency icon wrong.
How to fix it
Thanks

We have created the sample to display the currency symbols. Currency symbols are recognized as Unicode format in PDF.
So we have to apply the Unicode is true. Please refer the following code snippet:
C#:
//Creates a table
PdfGrid grid = new PdfGrid();
// apply Unicode font
grid.Rows[i].Cells[j].Style.Font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(font, true);
//Draw the table
grid.Draw(page, new PointF(10, 10));
Please refer the sample in the below link :

Please try this and let us know if you have any further assistance .
Thanks ,

XLConnect disabling vlookup

I am using XLConnect to copy monthly data to a template. The template has vlookups and I can get the new data to the new template file no problem. THe problem is in excel the new template now with the new data the vlookups don't recognize the data until I manually click each cell and the formula bar then it recognizes the data.
I have tried changing the formula to automatic but that still doesn't work. Anyone seen this problem?
I finally figured it out
setForceFormulaRecalculation(wb, sheet = 1, TRUE)
here is an example

itext7 pdf to image

I am using iText7(java) and am looking for a way to convert a pdf page to image.
In older iText versions you could do this :
PdfImportedPage page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, 1);
Image image = Image.getInstance(page);
But iText7 does not have PdfImportedPage .
My use case, I have a one page pdf file. I need to add a table and resize the pdf contents to fit a single page. In old iText I would create a page , add table, convert existing pdf page to image, resize image and add that resized image to new page. Is there a new way to do this in iText7.
Thanks to Bruno's answer I got this working with following code :
PdfPage origPage = readerDoc.getPage(1);
Rectangle rect = origPage.getPageSize();
Document document = new Document(writerDoc);
Table wrapperTable = new Table(1);
Table containerTable = new Table(new float[]{0.5f,0.5f});
containerTable.setWidthPercent(100);
containerTable.addCell( "col1");
containerTable.addCell("col2");
PdfFormXObject pageCopy = origPage.copyAsFormXObject(writerDoc);
Image image = new Image(pageCopy);
image.setBorder(Border.NO_BORDER);
image.setAutoScale(true);
image.setHeight(rect.getHeight()-250);
wrapperTable.addCell(new Cell().add(containerTable).setBorder(Border.NO_BORDER));
wrapperTable.addCell(new Cell().add(image).setBorder(Border.NO_BORDER));
document.add(wrapperTable);
document.close();
readerDoc.close();
Please read the official documentation for iText 7, more specifically Chapter 6: Reusing existing PDF documents
In PDF, there's the concept of Form XObjects. A Form XObject is a piece of PDF content that is stored outside the content stream of a page, hence XObject which stands for eXternal Object. The use of the word Form in Form XObject could be confusing, because people might be thinking of a form as in a fillable form with fields. To avoid that confusing, we introduced the term PdfTemplate in iText 5.
The class PdfImportedPage you refer to was a subclass of PdfTemplate: it was a piece of PDF syntax that could be reused in another page. Over the years, we noticed that people also got confused by the word PdfTemplate.
In iText 7, we returned to the basics. When talking about a Form XObject, we use the class PdfFormXObject. When talking about a page in a PDF file, we use the class PdfPage.
This is how we get a PdfPage from an existing document:
PdfDocument origPdf = new PdfDocument(new PdfReader(src));
PdfPage origPage = origPdf.getPage(1);
This is how we use that page in a new document:
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(new PdfWriter(dest));
PdfFormXObject pageCopy = origPage.copyAsFormXObject(pdf);
If you want to use that pageCopy as an Image, just create it like this:
Image image = new Image(pageCopy);

Setting AcroField text color in itextSharp

I am using iTextSharp 5.5.3 i have a PDF with named fields i created with Adobe lifecycle I am able to fill the fields using iTextSharp but when i change the textcolor for a field it does not change. i really dont know why this is so. here is my code below
form.SetField("name", "Michael Okpara");
form.SetField("session", "2014/2015");
form.SetField("term", "1st Term");
form.SetFieldProperty("name", "textcolor", BaseColor.RED, null);
form.RegenerateField("name");
If your form is created using Adobe LifeCycle, then there are two options:
You have a pure XFA form. XFA stands for the XML Forms Architecture and your PDF is nothing more than a container of an XML stream. There is hardly any PDF syntax in the document and there are no AcroForm fields. I don't think this is the case, because you are still able to fill out the fields (which wouldn't work if you had a pure XFA form).
You have a hybrid form. In this case, the form is described twice inside the PDF file: once using an XML stream (XFA) and once using PDF syntax (AcroForm). iText will fill out the fields in both descriptions, but the XFA description gets preference when rendering the document. Changing the color of a field (or other properties) would require changing the XML and iText(Sharp) can not do that.
If I may make an educated guess, I would say that you have a hybrid form and that you are only changing the text color of the AcroForm field without changing the text color in the XFA field (which is really hard to achieve).
Please try adding this line:
form.RemoveXfa();
This will remove the XFA stream, resulting in a form that only keeps the AcroForm description.
I have written a small example named RemoveXFA using the form you shared to demonstrate this. This is the C#/iTextSharp version of that example:
public void ManipulatePdf(String src, String dest)
{
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(src);
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(dest, FileMode.Create));
AcroFields form = stamper.AcroFields;
form.RemoveXfa();
IDictionary<String, AcroFields.Item> fields = form.Fields;
foreach (String name in fields.Keys)
{
if (name.IndexOf("Total") > 0)
form.SetFieldProperty(name, "textcolor", BaseColor.RED, null);
form.SetField(name, "X");
}
stamper.Close();
reader.Close();
}
In this example, I remove the XFA stream and I look over all the remaining AcroFields. I change the textcolor of all the fields with the word "Total" in their name, and I fill out every field with an "X".
The result looks like this: reportcard.pdf
All the fields show the letter "X", but the fields in the TOTAL column are written in red.
I finally found a way, guess the problem was coming from using Adobe LC, so i switched to Open Office it all worked but when i flatten the form everything disappears. I found a solution to that here ITextSharp PDFTemplate FormFlattening removes filled data
Thanks Mr Lowagie for your help

iTextSharp embedded cyrillic font in Adobe Reader

My PDF is not displayed properly with Adobe Reader. It is fine with other PDF readers so this must be a syntax issue, as I've heard that Adobe Reader is more strict with PDF syntax. The fonts seem to be twice as big as they should be but the horizontal spacing is correct, this makes the fonts overlap with each other.
This is my C# code (font creation code is at the end of this post).
Font officialUseFont = EmbeddedResources.CreateDesignFont(webform);
PdfContentByte officialUseCanvas = _stamper.GetOverContent(3);
ColumnText.ShowTextAligned(officialUseCanvas, Element.ALIGN_CENTER, new Phrase(webform.Text, officialUseFont), posX, posY, 0);
I'm using iTextSharp 5.4.2.0 with runtime v2.0.50727.
I must have embedded some fonts because the Cyrillic alphabet and Chinese alphabets were not working before but they work now. The form fields which exist in the PDF are populated with Cyrillic characters without any problems, it's only the canvas which causes the issue.
public Font CreateDesignFont(IForm webform)
{
var baseFont = GetBaseFont(fontNamespace.Length, selectedFontName);
return new Font(baseFont, webform.FontSize);
}
private static BaseFont GetBaseFont(int fontNamespaceLength, string selectedFontName)
{
byte[] fontBuffer;
using (var stream = (Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(selectedFontName)))
{
fontBuffer = new byte[stream.Length];
stream.Read(fontBuffer, 0, fontBuffer.Length);
}
var fontfile = selectedFontName.Substring(fontNamespaceLength);
var customFont = BaseFont.CreateFont(fontfile, BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED, BaseFont.CACHED, fontBuffer, null);
return customFont;
}
The code snippet you're providing isn't sufficient. The problem originates in whatever happens when you do EmbeddedResources.CreateDesignFont(webform);
If the font isn't shown in Adobe Reader, you didn't embed the font. Maybe you think you do, but judging by the behavior of the PDF viewers, you didn't.
Can you provide a screen shot of the Document Properties, more specifically the "Fonts" tab?
UPDATE
I tried writing my own code snippet, and I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. So I took another look at your code, and I saw that you're caching the font, but you've already used ArialMT using the WINANSI encoding to fill out the fields on page 1. IMO (I don't have the time to check) that's incompatible with using the same font from cache using IDENTITY_H. If you don't cache the font (why would you? you're passing the fontBuffer! no need to store the font in a cache if you're already caching the font bytes yourself), your problem will probably be solved.
The problem stemmed from the fact I was using .otf fonts. When I changed to .ttf the problem disappeared.

HTML Tags in GWT internationalization

I'm using the internationalization of GWT to manage the different languages of my application. I have a text where some words are in bold. Therefore I did the same thing as described here.
#DefaultMessage("Welcome back, {startBold,<b>}{0}{endBold,</b>}")
String testMessage(String name);
However, when I run the application, I get "Welcome back, < b>Peter< /b>" (the HTML is written out and not interpreted. I intentionally put a space between < b so that this text editor does not interpret the html tag).
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Many thanks in advance!
P.S.
Code fragment which gets the language string:
Label label = new Label();
label.addStyleName("intro-Text");
label.setText(new HTML(trans.testMessage(name)).getHTML());
Instead of using a Label use the HTML widget.
HTML text = new HTML();
text.addStyleName("intro-Text");
text.setHTML(trans.testMessage(name));
Hope that helps.
