PDTextSelect Object not Getting Special Characters like (≤ Ω Β ∞ ≠ ≥).

So, that is an API you are using!! CBMCTreeCtrl appears to be a custom C++ API. You must refer to the documentation or code of that API to see if you can pass a Unicode string. You will NOT be able to use the same interface you used to set one byte text. I think you still have not studied Unicode or the concept of encodings. This is vital to you.

However, I do have two suggestions on your next step.

1. Try and add directly the constant string "≤ Ω Β ∞ ≠ ≥" to your tree control, without using Acrobat. You may find this complex or impossible to solve, but once solved you will be ready to work with strings from Acrobat.

2. Also, copy and paste text from this same PDF into Word. Examine the Word document and make sure the characters ≤ Ω Β ∞ ≠ ≥ appear as you wish. If they do not appear in Word, you certainly cannot extract them from the PDF.

I do not understand what you mean by no API. Please help us understand in detail what you are doing. I know the tree view controller as something used though the .Net API and also via the MS Access API.

Ok, which API are you using to the tree view controller. Some of them are not Unicode aware so this is impossible for them. Others may accept a Unicode string, but you must change your code.

Please answer my question about intended use.

So, what is your host encoding? Does your host encoding include the characters ≤ Ω Β ∞ ≠ ≥? Tip: mine does not. I would have to work in Unicode. I think you are assuming something impossible will work.

What is your aim for these characters: please list all the ways you need them to work? (For example: only in one message that is popped up using the Windows MessageBox function) Please be detailed.

Does it give the expected answer?

If not, what encoding do you choose when you convert the ASText?

Hi Test Screen,

I am using PDDocCreateWordFinderUCS for Word Finder then

then i Get AsText from each PDWord.

then i Encode AsText to get all characters.

is it the correct way i am going?

Thank you for the reply...

I will Looking Unicode Encoding Concept...

Thanks for the reply...

how to extract special characters using PDWordFinder object?

When i extracting "≤ Ω Β ∞ ≠ ≥" it display as  " = O . 8 . = " .

i am using the following code...

ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 SearchTextBasedonSelectedFont(PDWordFinder wObj, PDWord wInfo, ASInt32 pgNum, void* clientData)

{

CString csText;// = "";

CString csColor, csBlueText;

COLORREF wordColor = NULL;

char buf[256];

bool NonAlphaNum = false, LeadingPunc = false, LeadingSpace = false;

ASInt32 liStyleIndex;

bool bcolorValue = false;

static int FirstOccurence = 0;

PDStyle pdWordStyle;

PDColorValueRec color;

color.space = PDDeviceRGB;

color.value[0] = color.value[1] = color.value[2] = color.value[3] = fixedZero;

liStyleIndex = 0;

ASFixedQuad quad;

ASInt16 llAttr, liNumQuads;

long llCurSequence;

llCurSequence = ++(*(long*)clientData);

try

{

//Get the word color

if ((pdWordStyle = PDWordGetNthCharStyle(wObj, wInfo, liStyleIndex)) != NULL)

{

PDStyleGetColor(pdWordStyle, &color);

}

// To get the word in buffer

PDWordGetString(wInfo, buf, 256);

csText = buf;

PDStyleGetFont(pdWordStyle);

PDStyle aoPDWordStyle = PDWordGetNthCharStyle(wObj, wInfo, 0);

liNumQuads = PDWordGetNumQuads(wInfo);

}
}

Thanks..
