itextsharp PdfStamper.AcroFields.SetField giving error

I have a PDF containing Chinese, Japanese language. In that PDF I have some input fields. I want to fill this PDF dynamically in C#.net

I am using iTextSharp dll to read pad and successfully read the PDF fields but when I am going to set value with PdfStamper.AcroFields.SetField, it gives me this error

Font 'KozMinPro-Regular' with 'UniJIS-UCS2-H' is not recognized.

To read PDF and getting fields I am using the following code

string pdfTemplate = @"C:\Users\admin\Desktop\test.pdf";
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(pdfTemplate);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (DictionaryEntry de in pdfReader.AcroFields.Fields)
{
   sb.Append(de.Key.ToString() + Environment.NewLine);
}

And I am getting all fields successfully.

To fill data in PDF I am using this code

string pdfTemplate = @"C:\Users\admin\Desktop\test.pdf";
string newFile = @"C:\Users\admin\Desktop\newdata_test.pdf";

PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(pdfTemplate);
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, new FileStream(
            newFile, FileMode.Create));

AcroFields pdfFormFields = pdfStamper.AcroFields;         

// set form pdfFormFields
pdfFormFields.SetField("fill_17", "test");

I am facing error on pdfFormFields.SetField method as

Font 'KozMinPro-Regular' with 'UniJIS-UCS2-H' is not recognized.

Please advice what I have to change or how I can resolve this issue.

There are some files missing in your project. In order to use the font 'KozMinPro-Regular' with 'UniJIS-UCS2-H', you need to give iTextSharp access to the metrics files that contain information about that font. These metrics files can be downloaded separately from SourceForge. More specifically, you need the file iTextAsian-dll-2.1.zip that can be found in iTextAsian-all-2.1.zip

Note that this will only work with a recent version of iTextSharp (5.3.0.0 or higher). This iTextAsian DLL won't work with older versions of iTextSharp.
