Unicode and HMG_HPDF

[esgici]

Hi All

It's seems that HMG_HPDF doesn't support unicode

Is this correct and if so may be a hope for the future ?

Hi Esgici !

I see no problem

Code: Select all

cText_hbHpdf := hb_Translate( c_AnyString, 'UTF8EX', cMyCodePage )

I see no problem

Code: Select all

cText_hbHpdf := hb_Translate( c_AnyString, 'UTF8EX', cMyCodePage )

Thank Ronaldo, I will prob it.

By the way my problem is on file name, not pdf text.

Hi Esgici !


I Think you can use the same solution:

Code: Select all

c_file_name_for_pdf_File := hb_Translate( c_AnyString, 'UTF8EX', cMyCodePage )

Any idea

And, Ronaldo,

Would you like add your suggestions on this code,
( with required REQUEST statements and SETxxx commands / functions)
please.

Esgici,

As of now we can't use unicode with HPDF.

Claudio had also tested in a newer version of HPDF for unicode. We are investigating this and it is a main agenda for the upcoming versions.

Adjusted ( but not tested ! )

PROCEDURE Main()

   cSourceFileName := "español.txt"   
   
   cSourceText := hb_Translate( HB_MEMOREAD( cSourceFileName ), 'UTF8EX', 'ESISO' )
   
   cTargetFileName := STRTRAN( cSourceFileName, "txt", "pdf" )
   
   SELECT HPDFDOC ( hb_Translate( cTargetFileName, 'UTF8EX', 'ESISO' ) ) TO lSelPDF // papersize HPDF_PAPER_A4
   
   IF lSelPDF
      
      _HMG_HPDF_SetEncoding( "WinAnsiEncoding" )
      
      START HPDFDOC
   
         START HPDFPAGE
            @ 20,  20 HPDFPRINT cSourceText
         END HPDFPAGE   
      
      END HPDFDOC
