Need to grab unicode value in PDF.

Hi,

We have faced that some characters are converted into Gross check box while doing PS to PDF creation. But, the Unicode value is present in that character. Could you please advise is there possible to capture or grab unicode value in PDF document using Enfocus actionlist to fix validation for this case?



Thanks,
Shankari.

The rectangle you see will most likely be the notdef glyph. This glyph/character is used when there is no glyph in the font for the unicode character.

So I assume you are working with a subsetted version of the font? Fully embedding the font should fix the issue.

Hi padawan,

Could you please advise how to identify subsetted versions of fonts in fonts?

The fonts installed on your system will always be full fonts. It's just that when applications create PDF's they sometimes don't put all font glyphs in the font version inside the PDF file.

If you replace the font of the selected text using PitStop Pro to a new font and you make sure the settings are set to embedded, then it should be fixed.

This looks like this:
(It might be different on your system since your screenshot suggests you are using an older version of PitStop Pro)
