Hi Haider,

Please try taking a look at the following community post:

I am having trouble adding unicode text to a page

Question: I want to add text to a PDF page, using ElementBuilder, but when I try to add non-ascii text, unicode, it comes out as garbage characters. Answer: The issue is that the encoding of character codes does not match the Font being used. The following API should work regardless of what language you are using (C#, Java, SWIFT, etc.) var text = "ﭳﭵﭷﭺﮒ"; // example unicode text. var font = Font.Create(pdfdoc, name_of_font, text); // name_of_font would be something like "RobotoSans" or "Ari…

Please let me know how this works for you, and if you have any further questions.

After implementation of suggested code. it is printing some weird text.

string ProcedureVersion = "Revision 855(Copy1)(Copy1)(Copy1)(Copy1)(Copy1)(Copy1) (Copy 1)";

 myFont = Font.Create(pdfdoc, "Arial", ProcedureVersion);      
  element = eb.CreateTextBegin(myFont, font_sz);
  writer.WriteElement(element);

Text that i gave : Revision 855(Copy1)(Copy1)(Copy1)(Copy1)(Copy1)(Copy1) (Copy 1)
Text that is printing : 剥癩獩潮‸㔵⡃潰礱⤨䍯灹ㄩ⡃潰礱⤨䍯灹ㄩ⡃潰礱⤨䍯灹ㄩ 䍯灹

As well please tell me is there any way to make font bold after implementing this code.

Thanks

Hi Haider,

Can you confirm that you are running elementBuilder.CreateUnicodeTextRun() rather than CreateTextRun()? If not, please change this as it is likely what is causing your issue.

If you are still having problems, please share the entirety of your code.

Thanks,
Kia

Yes, it did work for me after changing it to

eb.CreateUnicodeTextRun($"Page {itr.GetPageNumber()} of {pdfdoc.GetPageCount()}");

Thanks for this.

Can you please guide me how we could make it bold ? text we have stamped ?

Hi Haider,

How To make Sptamed text bold

PDF files do not have explicit setting for Bold. Instead, you need to actually select a Bold font face. Such as. myFont = Font.Create(pdfdoc, "ArialBold", ProcedureVersion);
