i-129f k1 Printing Problems

[Clarevalley 1]

I'm sure this issue has come up before but my search didn't reveal any.

I can't print page 7 of I-129F or anything that includes the Thailand Native script text. It just comes out garbage. At first I thought it was the printer but the print view is wrong as well. What changes/additions do I need to make so I can print page 7?

Print out Page 7 blank and hand-write it in. I’ve heard there are also programs besides Adobe online that’ll do it for you, but if you can write Thai, just do it by hand. Good luck!

Have you tried saving it as a .pdf before printing?

Sorry that's out of the question. I can't write Thai.

Nope that doesn't work either. It saves page 7 as garbage even in the PDF form. it not what I've copy pasted in the form from my Fiance.

I'm looking into changing or adding a second language to my PDF file.

This is what prints from the saved PDF file. It is supposed to be Thai language.

We also wanted a fully typeset document for our submission and ended up using PDFescape - of course, the disclaimer here is that their site will store a copy of your information.

 

The process is somewhat tedious, but first we saved a copy of the PDF with as much of the content filled out in Adobe as possible.  Then we uploaded it to the site and cut and pasted the Thai information (created in a word processing doc with the Thai character set) as appropriate.  I think the site just rasterizes the document, so it won't be just filling in the blanks - you'll have to spend a little time aligning the content with the form.

 

One advantage, besides appearance, is that after doing this you'll have an electronic image for printing copies later if needed.

Thanks rndz, I'm trying to do it myself by printing out the page then using MS Word to over print with strategic placement of the Thai script to then print the page again with the correct placement of the Thai script. if I fail I'll look into PDF escape..
