I thought I share my solution for a little problem.
I had a problem expording Special characters like ä, ö, ü, õ etc. to PDF.

Adding one line in run_report_pdf_v2.php (row 155) solved the problem for me.

data = utf8_decode($data)

zazzium,

We will include this in the next release.

Thanks for your help, we appreciate it!

utf8_decode($data) does not work with characters like
œ š Ÿ ž ƒ € (output- ? ? ? ? ? ? ?)

..but replaceing it with mb_convert_encoding works like charm
$data = mb_convert_encoding($data, "WINDOWS-1252", "UTF-8");

zazzium,

I have made this change for the next build and you will be imortalised with a comment next to it.

Hi,

Nor utf8_decode($data) neither $data = mb_convert_encoding($data, "WINDOWS-1252", "UTF-8") works with Greek characters like
γ,Γ,δ,Δ,θ,Θ,λ,Λ,μ,ξ,Ξ,σ,Σ,ψ,Ψ, ω,Ω etc (output- ? ? ? ? ? ? ?).

Is there anything else that could fix the problem?

Thanks

fsld,

Have you tried the latest version?

2.7.4.3

It has zazzium's fix.

Steven

Hi Steven,

Yes, I have tried the last version 2.7.4.3.

Also, if this can help, printing of a transaction using the "print" button, displays correctly only the first 7 characters from the description and 'cut' the rest. The use of 'printPDF' button, displays the entire text, but in the wrong place and with ???????????.

Thanks,
flsd

flsd,

Greek has completly different ecoding (ISO-8859-7).
Theoretically it should be mb_convert_encoding($data, "ISO-8859-7", "UTF-8"), but it does not work.

Sorry, i couldn't find a easy fix for greek, u have to play around with encoding.

flsd,

Can you post a screen capture of what you mean?

Steven

Steven,
