TryGetPdfCode Method (FontSimple)

In This Topic

Tries to convert a Unicode value to the character's PDF code.

Note that this method can fail if the font does not contain the necessary info for the conversion or does not contain the specified Unicode value.

Note also that this method can be slow as it uses large font tables like /Encoding, /ToUnicode etc., so it is recommended that the returned results are cached by the caller.
