Outputting to PDF

edited May 2010 in General
We are using report building 11.08 and delphi 2009.

When outputting reports to PDF we are getting issues with unicode chatacters
appearing as question marks. Is this an issue with the font that PDF uses by
default or is it something else?

Regards

    Hi Simon,

    The native PDF export device for RB 11 does not support Unicode fonts or
    text. The current workaround is to place all your Unicode text inside a
    TppRichText component and set the PDFSettings.ExportRTFAsBitmap property to
    True.

    It is highly likely that Unicode will be supported in the PDF device (Delphi
    2009/Delphi 2010) for the next major release of ReportBuilder.
