Save As problems with font

Modestas Vaicekauskis Aug 18, 2016 8:50 AM

Haribol, Everyone,

I have problem with solidworks. When I have file name with Lithuanian characters, for example ęčėšįęų.SLDDRW And when I do normal save As PDF function form menu In the end I get PDF file name which looks like this: жилрбжш.PDF So some how, file name it's turned to Russian Cyrillic. But when I try save As DWG everything is ok, ęčėšįęų.DWG.

When I use Deepak Gupta macro it's the same situation. The pdf file name is wrong, and the dwg is ok.

The PDF Properties show this information. Title is the same like ęčėšįęų.SLDDRW , but the file name is change.

So any suggestions how to solve this bug? Have a nice day everyone

Apparenty the save pdf is not utf16 compatible? How about renaming the afterwards?

  Renaming afterwards works fine. I can see all Lithuanian letters. About the UTF-16 I do not know a thing. So I am searching info about that.

UTF-16 means that characters are encoded in two bytes. That means there are 2^16 chars (which should encompass all languages). UTF-8, however, is one byte encoder means that they are 2^8 (256 chars). This is an awesome article by Joel Spolsky the founder of StackOverFlow, you should read it.
