International users

When entering text, international users need to use a Unicode font when saving a .PDF, otherwise the text will display as boxes, as the text won't be recognized. The following example shows how a font is identified as Unicode. Arial Unicode is the recommended font, as it contains double-byte characters in the font definition. Other fonts may not support all characters, which would also result in boxes showing up in the .PDF.
