Hi All,

I'm trying download a PDF file with the parameter "pdf=true".
The page that should be rendered have some unicode characters, and the PDF is being rendered with strange characters. 
Example: ™ is rendered as "â„¢".

Did someone have this problem?

 

Thank you,

Ricardo Pereira

Hi Ricardo,

The PDF renderer (ABCpdf) can be a little quirky sometimes.

Make sure that you have a <meta charset="utf-8"> as the first element in the head of your html

You might need to check if your template files are saved with utf-8 encoding. If you transfer templates to the server using an FTP client you need to make sure that it handles encoding correct (filezilla has always worked for me).
