Encoding problem

Post by lburgos »

Hello!

I'm newby in latex, I'm trying to use the ANSI encoding with the command \usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}, but when I generate de PDF file and watch the document properties (ctrl +D), the Encoding is "Built-in" not ANSI. Do I have to do something else to modify the document encoding to ANSI?

For Example:

\documentclass{exam}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
Hello
\end{document}

Thanks a lot! ;)

The input encoding as set by the inputenc package only affects the encoding of the input (TeX) files, never the encoding of the output (PDF) file. There is no way (and no need) to change the latter.

Hi!

Thanks for your answer...

I'm working whith a digital signature application, and it needs ANSI encoding in the PDF file to work in appropiate manner :|
Is there maybe any way to configure the Miktex settings to generate output files with ANSI encoding?

Thank you in advance, regards

Luisa.
