[srikrishnan]

Hi all

I want to add special accented characters such as aacute, ccedil, scaron, etc in my postscript files. I am successfully done that in postscript files. But when I convert postscript files to PDF, all such characters are became junk

Can anybody help me to solve this problem?

How do you convert from postscript to PDF?

Hi,

I am using Adobe Distiller 9.0 for creating PDF from Postscript file

Thanks for your response

I am using Adobe Distiller 9.0 for creating PDF from Postscript file

So, why do you ask in a Perl forum instead of in an Adobe forum?

It's not clear how this is related to Perl. Maybe you could elaborate a little bit more?

Hi

In the postscript file I have added some accented characters as below using perl script

[/Subtype /Caret /Contents ("Zarduáμăšt argues ka man ahōš be kunēh ciyōn … and following, these are direct quotes so should be in quote marks ? \(I have put the translations in brackets, ok?\) please also check below") /Rect 7741 9285 7988 9068 /Title (Original Text) /Subj (Deleted Text) /Border 0 0 0 /Color 0 0 1 /ANN pdfmark

and converted it to PDF using Adobe distiller, it comes as below in the PDF

"Zarduáμąšët argues ka man ahÅ“Å¡ be kunÄfih ciyÅ“n ╦ and following, these are direct quotes so should be in quote marks ? (I have put the translations in brackets, ok?) please also check below"

I hope it makes as clear about my problem.

Thanks

If you suspect that the bug is in the Perl program, I suggest that you hexdump your postscript file and check, whether the characters are represented by the correct bit pattern; maybe it is an encoding problem.

If this is the case, please post here in a small example, how you generate the postscript code, what bit pattern you would expect in the postscript file, and what bit pattern you actually got.
