Hello,
I have spent a day trying to generate pdf in Hebrew or Arabic with no help. I would like to know if it actually possible to generate RTL urf8 pdf?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

I am back to this issue again hoping that someone had succeeded in finding a solution for it.
I have raised this issue back in Jan with no success.

Hi OOzy
Some background on this.
I believe the reason for PDF not working with UTF-8 content is that when the PDF module was added (some time ago now) the original code did not support UTF-8.
Now, I do not think that this has changed at all. I would like it to support UTF-8 (UNICODE)
I do not remember seeing this being recoded so I think that you will not be able to get this working. As suggestion might be to take the OpenOffice.org export and then run that through a PDF generator. This may give you more luck.
I hope this helps
Tony
