Problem with slovak chars ?š???? in export to pdf 10 months, 2 weeks ago #77157

Hi, I use BreezingForms 1.7.3 Stable. I tried export my form to pdf but I get lot of ? char instead ?š???? chars. Interesting is that this problem I had only in pdf export. Reason probably is that font which is used in exports don't support chars which I need but I don't know how to change font in export. Thank you very much Attachments: pdfreports.zip (6KB)	jozol OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Karma: 0

the problem is the underlying PDF api. But this issue can be solved by using a different font file with a little hack. Unfortunately I cannot ship these files with BF, because it would lead to problems on installing due to the filesize

I am thinking to somehow make it easier for people in the future to change the fontfiles.

However, you basically need to unzip the file attached and copy the 3 files inside into /administrator/components/com_breezingforms/libraries/tcpdf/fonts/

Then open the file /components/com_breezingforms/facileforms.process.php and find the line that says

$pdf = new TCPDF();

Best search for "TCPDF".

Then, right after this line, add a new line:

$pdf->SetFont('dejavusans');

This would be for the attachments.

Now for the exports in manage records, do the same in the file /administrator/components/com_breezingforms/admin/recordmanagement.class.php

If everything works like on my develop machine, you should have regular output.
