Put unicode characters to the signature widget

Navigation

To put national characters to the widget text, you need to put the whole text in unicode and also to include a font, which will be used to display the widget, to the document.

1. Putting the text to the widget in .NET is trivial:

Sig.WidgetProps.SignerCaption = "My Unicode text"

Putting the text to the widget in VCL can be done as follows:

Sig.WidgetProps.SignerCaption := SBUtils.StringOfBytes(SBUtils.WideStrToUTF8('My Unicode text'))


							
								2. To embed a font, see TinySigner sample, shipped with SecureBlackbox.
							
							
								Notes:

								

									PDF 1.2 doesn't support font embedding.
									
When you embed the whole font, the size of the document increases significantly.
										As you only need a subset of the font (a couple of characters), you can use a tool on http://ttf2pt1.sourceforge.net/ to create a font subset.
