PDFSharp with Chinese characters

Question

I have problem with displaying Chinese characters in PDFSharp in C#. During process of creating the PDF string it's ok, but after creating pdf file it doesn't display it. I found one solution which is

XFont font_small2 = new XFont("微软雅黑", 9, XFontStyle.Regular, options)

This solutions works on my localhost but when I release this on beta server it doesn't display Chinese characters.

Answer 1

You can embed original Chinese font into your pdf file and use correct CMAP.

var options = new XPdfFontOptions(PdfFontEmbedding.Always);
var font = new XFont("微软雅黑", 9, XFontStyle.Regular, options);

OR

var page = new PdfPage();
var gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);
gfx.MFEH = PdfFontEmbedding.Automatic;
