Params		  
Name Description
text

The text to be encoded.

support

The way in which characters not included in the font are to be encoded.

outCount

The number of characters in (parameter) text that are encoded in the return value.

return

The PDF string containing the encoded text.

 

    

Notes		  

Use this method to convert Unicode text into PDF string for use with the Tj or the TJ operator.

The EncodingSupport enumeration can take any of the following values:

  • All – encode all text.
  • NoneIfAnyNotSupported – encode nothing if any character is not included in the font.
  • SupportedPrefix – encode up to and excluding the first character not included in the font.

Note that the encoding for a font is constructed and cached at the time the font is first created. So changing the encoding for the font will not result in a corresponding change of behavior from this method. If this is something you need to do then you will need to create an entirely new font.

 

    

Example		  

None.
