I'm using PowerBuilder 2017 R3

I have a problem with PowerBuilder new SaveAs to PDF feature using NativePDF. It is not retaining Unicode/UTF-16 Characters. They being dropped off. I’m using the following:

 NativePDF! Method for PDf format on the datawindow and following SaveAs command:

 lds_invoice.SaveAs(ls_invoice_path, PDF!, TRUE)

 Any help on getting unicode/utf-16 (Japanese) characters to retain/display in PDF?

Hi Eugene et Al;

  FYI: This is also the PDF format that you need to use when building a PDF file from a native PB App that will be sent to a mobile device.

I've managed to fix the issue by selecting a PDF conformance. Previously it was None (0). I've set it to PDF/A-1a (1) and it is working fine.
