STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
MORE INFORMATION
This PDF Viewer update adds character mapping support for the languages that are listed earlier by using the predefined Adobe character mapping files (CMAPs). PDF Viewer uses these CMAPs to map from the character index that is used in a document to a matching TrueType glyph. The CMAP uses the Unicode value of the glyph.
When you open a document that requires a predefined mapping, PDF Viewer tries to locate the appropriate character mapping file in the Windows directory.
Required files for character mapping
A total of 16 predefined CMAPs are provided (four files for each of the four Far East languages). The following table lists the files that are required for each language:
| Japanese | Adobe-Japan1-UCS2 90ms-RKSJ-UCS2 |
| Korean | Adobe-Korea1-UCS2 KSCms-UHC-UCS2 |
| Chinese Simplified | Adobe-GB1-UCS2 GBK-EUC-UCS2 |
| Chinese Traditional | Adobe-CNS1-UCS2 ETen-B5-UCS2 |
Important These tables are not automatically added to the image when the Microsoft PDF Viewer is selected. The files exist in the following location:
%_WINCEROOT%\Public\Viewers\Oak\Files\PDFViewertbls
During the build process, all the files are copied to the following location:
%_FLATRELEASEDIR%
The OEM can do the following to include the required files:
- Use a modified Project.bib file to include the required files.
- Add the files only to the FILES section of the .bib file.
- By default, compress the files to save space.
Following is the list of files that must be added to the .bib file to support Japanese fonts in PDF files:
Adobe-Japan1-UCS2 %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\Adobe-Japan1-UCS2 NK 90ms-RKSJ-UCS2 %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\90ms-RKSJ-UCS2 NK 90pv-RKSJ-UCS2 %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\90pv-RKSJ-UCS2 NK 90pv-RKSJ-UCS2C %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\90pv-RKSJ-UCS2C NK
Additional enhancements
This update to the PDF Viewer program also includes the following:
- Permits PDF files that were created by using Crystal Reports to be opened.
- Permits European characters to be mapped to the correct Unicode value.
- Supports demand loading of pages to provide faster document load times.
