    I’m wondering if there is some option to export ISO Latin-2 letters like ? ? ? ? ń etc. to pdf filled documents? Right now if someone use polish letters they aren’t exported to pdf file.

    The problem is with many PDF viewers not rendering those properly and my current software stack not handling this issue. The characters do in fact get filled into the PDF, however, there is an issue with the field’s appearance stream. Simple PDF viewers (such as web browsers) don’t have the code to work around the issue, so, those characters don’t render properly. If you were to open the filled PDF file with a more professional PDF software then you would see that they render the filled data correctly.

    You may be able fix the problem by fully embedding the font used in the fields into your PDF, making sure that it contains glyphs for all of your characters. Unfortunately, that my not always work.

    I am working on a solution to fix this issue. I plan to have something available for testing soon.

    I can tell You that opening pdf created with pdf forms filler in other more professional pdf browersers such as foxit or adobe reader doesn’t work – there are no latin letters transfered to pdf file.

    Hi @eros86,

    I’ve just tried it. It works for me. It is possible that your PDF has some issue with embedded fonts, however, it is hard for me to say. Can you send your PDF to admin at maximum dot software or post a link to it in this topic? I will try to debug your issue.

    Also, the latest Firefox has a PDF viewer that renders form fields correctly. You may want to try it with that PDF file.

    By the way, the new version of my back end is nearly ready. It does have a workaround for this issue. However, there are still some bugs that need to be fixed.

    Hi @eros86,

    I’ve deployed version 1.3.13. It allows you to switch to using API v2. The second version of the API should solve your issue. It is only deployed on the beta server for now, so, you will need to change the API URL to “https://beta.pdf.ninja”, then request a new key by pressing the “Get New Key” button on the edit page.

    Let me know if you have any issues with the new API version. I will deploy it at the primary API soon, so, you will not need to use the beta API in the future.

    Thank you.

    By the way, I’ve deployed API version 2 to the production URL (https://pdf.ninja). Feel free to try it out. It should solve your issue.
