    <p>I am using Android PDF Write(APW) to create a PDF, but it doesn't work with some special characters(portuguese).</p> <pre><code>mypdf.addText(170, 50, 40,"Coração"); </code></pre> <p>The standard enconding is:</p> <pre><code>mypdf.setFont(StandardFonts.SUBTYPE, StandardFonts.COURIER, StandardFonts.WIN_ANSI_ENCODING); outputToFile("helloworld.pdf",pdfcontent,"ISO-8859-1"); </code></pre> <p>I'v tried</p> <pre><code>outputToFile("helloworld.pdf",pdfcontent,"UTF-8"); outputToFile("helloworld.pdf",pdfcontent,"UTF-16"); outputToFile("helloworld.pdf",pdfcontent,"Cp1252"); </code></pre> <p>and didn't succeed. Any ideas what should I do?</p> <p>EDIT</p> <p>The method outputToFile is defined as:</p> <pre><code> private void outputToFile(String fileName, String pdfContent, String encoding) { File newFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + fileName); try { newFile.createNewFile(); try { FileOutputStream pdfFile = new FileOutputStream(newFile); pdfFile.write(pdfContent.getBytes(encoding)); pdfFile.close(); } catch(FileNotFoundException e) { // } } catch(IOException e) { // } } </code></pre> <p>The method addText is defined as:</p> <pre><code> public void addText(int leftPosition, int topPositionFromBottom, int fontSize, String text, String transformation) { addContent( "BT\n" + transformation + " " + Integer.toString(leftPosition) + " " + Integer.toString(topPositionFromBottom) + " Tm\n" + "/F" + Integer.toString(mPageFonts.size()) + " " + Integer.toString(fontSize) + " Tf\n" + "(" + text + ") Tj\n" + "ET\n" ); } </code></pre> <p>Besides, I change the font color to white adding the following rawcontent:</p> <pre><code>mypdf.addRawContent("1 1 1 rg\n"); </code></pre> <p>Then I come back to the black font color:</p> <pre><code> mypdf.addRawContent("0 0 0 rg\n"); </code></pre>

    1. CO`outputToFile` does what? That been asked a quick view at the sources of APW seems to indicate that it is not very flexible concerning fonts and encodings.

    2. COAh, from PDFWriterDemo I assume. First of all: because the string contains offset references, you **must not** use a multi-byte or variable-byte-number encoding. Actually it is quite some nonsense that APW returns a string here instead of a byte array. Pdf documents are not text. That being said, you should show the code in which you actually add your special characters including the code you use to create and select font objects.

    3. COOk, but how do you set the font to use before your `mypdf.addText(170, 50, 40,"Coração")` line? The reason for my asking this is that depending on which font you select how, the encoding required for your string may differ and maybe your characters are not selectable at all! E.g. ã (atilde) in the built-in encodings may have the octal value 213, 343, or 343 (MacRomanEncoding, WinAnsiEncoding, PDFDocEncoding, cf. Annex D of the PDF [specification](http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf)), and the font you use must contain the character to start with.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
