Hi, we do have a problem when flattening a pdf trough pdftk. We are
using some special characters (central european fonts - example: šľťž)
that we desperately need, but after flatten these characters are
replaced with an empty space. What we are exactly doing is importing a
xfdf file in UTF format. Importing this to a pdf form file without
flatten works great.

pdftk was built with a very old iText version that didn't support, at
the time, substitution fonts. See the thread
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general/39983/.

thx, seems to be itext is a java library, not an end user tool, so the
only way is write a java application
have you any recomendation how to use it whitout java (in python)?
