I have a problem with exporting accented characters such as "şăţî" in PDF documents. These characters are stored normally in a database but when I tried to export to PDF the character ş is transformed to %C5%9F and so on. I think the problem is from dompdf library. Now I do preg_replace but is not a good solution. Someone was met with such problem?
My code:
public function generateTitlePage($company, $number_cadastral='', $adresa_beneficiar='', $administrator='', $verificator='', $number_certificate='', $executor='', $date='')
{
$this->load->library('dompdf_gen');
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$company = preg_replace('/%C3%A2/','â',$company);
$company = preg_replace('/%C3%AE/','î',$company);
$company = preg_replace('/%C5%9F/','ş',$company);
$company = preg_replace('/%C5%A3/','ţ',$company);
$html = <<<HTML
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<div style="margin-top:20px;text-align: center;font-weight: bold">SOCIETATE CU RASPUNDERE LIMITATA $company</div>
<div style="margin-top: 100px; text-align: right; padding-right:130px;">
<span style="padding-right: 10px">Nr.Cadastral:</span>$company
<div style="width: 150px;margin-left: 535px;size:1;"><hr style="margin:0px;"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
HTML;
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("welcome.pdf");
}
With blank spaces I have the same problem; blank space is transformed into .%27 and 27%.
