Hello,
I am using the $pdf->setHeaderHtml() and $pdf->setFooterHtml() PHP functions of the API to set HTML headers and footers for the PDF files I'm trying to build. However, I need to have special accented characters taken into consideration, but when I use them the PDF file generated contains strange symbols in place of the accented characters.
I am using plain special characters typed in directly for the header, but for the footer I am using an HTML table to show information in a specific layout, such information also contains special characters which fail to show correctly. I also use special accented characters in the body of the PDF document, which renders dynamically according to the account profile and processed information, but everything renders beautifully there and without a problem in terms of special characters.
Please see
this sample PDF file to see what the error actually looks like on the header and footer.
Thanks for your support!
NOTE: I was unable to post this support request message because I was typing some of the special characters here in the message for you to look at them. I received multiple errors from the forum, where the QUERY showed up as it failed to execute... once I removed the accented characters from the message body then I was able to post this message.
