In summary, the conversation discusses the need to generate PDF files in Persian using PHP codes. The server being used is running on version 4.3 and the PDFLIB does not support UNICODE, resulting in nonsensical characters being displayed when writing in Persian. The speaker has also tried using the UFPDF class, which displays characters correctly but still has two problems. The first problem is that Persian characters are not separated properly in the PDF, and the second problem is that the order of characters is left to right instead of right to left. The speaker asks for any other classes that support UTF-8 or advice to solve the two problems. They are reminded to always check the documentation and are directed to a specific page for more information. The

I need to generate PDF files in Persian. My codes are in PHP and the server is runnig ver 4.3. The PDFLIB appearently doesn't support UNICODE. When I write something in Persian it shows only some nonsence charachters on screen. I also downloaded UFPDF, after using that class the charachters were shown correctly but still I have 2 problems:
1. In persian in contrast to english the charachters are sticked togheter but the PDF, shows them seprated.
2. The order in the PDF is left to right while it must become right to left.

Do you know any other classes which support UTF-8?
Or any advice to solve the 2 problems?
Thanks

Always check the documenation. Do a search on the page for UTF-8

I did, but not as well as you :D
You know, all the php guys in Iran (www.Iranphp.net[/URL]) are killing themselves to solve the problem then I didn't think taking a look at the documatation would be useful.
Anyway, I'm going to check it now.
Thank you.
