The encoding is "Identity-H". Use a font with the Thai characters like arialuni.ttf.

pdfFontName must be the full path to the font either on file or as a resource.

Are you sure no exception is thrown and you have an incomplete pdf?

Other frequent problem is that the static text is ok but the text retrieved from the database is not in the correct encoding and doesn't show correctly.

Thanks a bunch, psoares33. Using full path is a big pain in the a**. Is it possible that we can use relative path ? If a relative path isn't allowed in "pdfFontName", can we use it somewhere else ? Like in a resource ? What is a resource and how to use it ,bytheway ? :)

 

Thanks very much again ...

You can use relative paths but the question is: relative to what? You don't want to go that way.

Another option is to put the ttf somewhere accessible by the classpath either in the lib or classes dir.
