When I add Unicode strings (such as Chinese characters) using the IText.AddContent() method to a report, it displays as blanks. Does the Documents engine supports Unicode? If so, could you show me how to do this properly?
Thanks,

Has Arabic support been added in yet?
I run into the same problem now. PDFs including embedded Chinese fonts that are displayed correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader are not displayed correctly in other PDF readers like FoxIt or "PDF XChange Viewer".
When I create a PDF including Chinese characters i.e. with Word 2007, it is displayed correctly in all PDF viewers. After looking into the PDF document font properties, I noticed a difference in how the fonts are embedded. Word embeds the fonts as "Embedded Subset", the Infragistics class embeds them as "Embedded" (no Subset).
I tried to set the font subset manually to "true", but it seems to have no effect. The Infragistics help file gives the answer why: "Unicode fonts will automatically be subsetted and embedded in the output document if any characters outside of the ASCII range are used. "
Maybe here is a problem?
It would be a huge benefit if we could create PDFs including Chinese characters that are viewable with all common PDF viewers. Many users don't use the plump Adobe Reader.
No such plans have been announced as far as I know.
Do you have any plans to support unicode arabic in the future?
It's the same engine which exports to all three formats and this is not supported by the engine.
