Tony Wood	Sunday 19 August 2007 12:14:51 am Hi OOzy Some background on this. I believe the reason for PDF not working with UTF-8 content is that when the PDF module was added (some time ago now) the original code did not support UTF-8. Now, I do not think that this has changed at all. I would like it to support UTF-8 (UNICODE) I do not remember seeing this being recoded so I think that you will not be able to get this working. As suggestion might be to take the OpenOffice.org export and then run that through a PDF generator. This may give you more luck. I hope this helps Tony Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!
