Hi,
I am trying to create a PDF document containing the japanese charcters. But I am having problem with that. Some japanese charcters are missing in the PDF generated.
The characters which does not get displayed are ‡@C‡A@etc.
Is this encoding problem or font problem?
I had the same problem while creating a image which had these charcters.
The settings which I am going to use finally are,
1) The text content, which needs to be put in PDF will come from the database.
2) php.ini file settings are,
gd
GD Support => enabled
GD Version => 2.0 or higher
FreeType Support => enabled
FreeType Linkage => with TTF library
JPG Support => enabled
PNG Support => enabled
WBMP Support => enabled
mbstring
Multibyte Support => enabled
Japanese support => enabled
Directive => Local Value => Master Value
mbstring.detect_order => no value => no value
mbstring.encoding_translation => Off => Off
mbstring.func_overload => 0 => 0
mbstring.http_input => pass => pass
mbstring.http_output => pass => pass
mbstring.internal_encoding => none => none
mbstring.language => neutral => neutral
mbstring.substitute_character => no value => no value
pdf
PDF Support => enabled
PDFlib GmbH Version => 4.0.3
Revision => $Revision: 1.112.2.2 $
The PHP code is as follows,
<?php
$fp = fopen( "test.pdf", "w");
$pdf = PDF_open($fp);
PDF_begin_page($pdf, 400, 200);
pdf_set_text_rendering($pdf, 2);
pdf_set_font($pdf, "HeiseiMin-W3", 30, "EUC-H");
PDF_show_xy($pdf, "‡@@[@“ú–{Œê‚Å‚·B", 10,150);
pdf_set_font($pdf, "HeiseiKakuGo-W5", 30, "EUC-H");
PDF_show_xy($pdf, "‡A@[@“ú–{Œê‚Å‚·B", 10,100);
PDF_end_page($pdf);
PDF_close($pdf);
fclose($fp);
?>
<a href="test.pdf">finished</a>
How to solve this problem? If it is font related issue how do I install new fonts in PDFLib?
If this encoding related issue then I would like read some article about encoding coversions and possible character loss. Is there any link available?
Can any one help me?
