FAQ

Q. Created PDF file has garbled characters.

A. Go to the setting panel and enter following font names to “Font” and “Monospaced font” option.

Font: freesans, Monospaced font: freemono (For Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Armenian, Georgian, Ethiopian and Thai etc.)
Font: dejavusans, Monospaced font: dejavusansmono (For Latin, Greek and Cyrillic etc.)
Font: aefurat, Monospaced font: aefurat (For Arabic)
Font: stsongstdlight, Monospaced font: stsongstdlight (For Simplified Chinese)
Font: msungstdlight, Monospaced font: msungstdlight (For Traditional Chinese)
Font: hysmyeongjostdmedium, Monospaced font: hysmyeongjostdmedium (For Korean)

When this solves the problem, please give me details(your language, font, monospaced font), I may need to change the default font for your language.

You can also add new font for your language. For details, read “Add new fonts” section in this document.

If you still can’t solve the problem, Go to the setting panel and enable “Add default font to font-family” option.

For detailed information about Japanese font, read “Fonts for Japanese” section in this document.

Q. Created PDF file name becomes garbled.

A. Go to the setting panel and set “File name” option to “Post id” in “2. PDF Settings” section.

Q. Created PDF contains images with wrong size.

A. Adjust width and height attributes in <img> tag or width and height properties in style attribute in <img> tag or other elements.

Q. Created PDF contains no images.

A. If large size images are placed in same row, the images may disappear in PDF.

Adjust width and height attributes in <img> tag or width and height properties in style attribute in <img> tag or other elements.

Or place <br /> tags after each image blocks.

Q. I got following error when downloding PDF file. “TCPDF ERROR: Could not include font definition file: helvetica”

When “Safe fonts directory” option is enabled, there must be some bundled fonts in new font directory. Upload helvetica.php, helveticab.php, helveticabi.php, helveticai.php to new font directory at least. You can find these fonts in /YOUR PLUGIN DIRECTORY/post2pdf-converter/tcpdf/fonts directory.
