Dear all,
I'm trying to generate PDF in turkish language, but special characters don't show properly.I'm using EZP 3.8.9.
Has anyone already managed to do it ? I tried to set
[PDFGeneral] OutputCharset=utf-8
in a <i>pdf.ini.append.php</i> file (and many other charset...), but this did not work.
I also tried a PDF generation with EZP 3.9.5, but still don't work for turkish either.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Long time ago played with this and only conclusion was that somewhere deep in eZ pdf lib something is very bad with string conversion. Didn't have time to check it better...

It's not in the ez code, its caused by the php functions used by it.So only latin 1 supported until we get time to rewrite the whole thing using ezodf code (open office integration).

Ok, so i guess I'll propose à HTML format for languages that are not latin 1...
I'm using the pdf output mostly to let the user prints his page.I think this is my best option.
Anyone have other suggestions ?

Just change pagelayout_print.tpl (eg. use different header and footer).Default functionality of eZ is to invoke this template with "/layout/set/print" part of url which is added when user calls javascript.print() function.
