With eForm Exporter, we use mPDF for generating all PDF downloads. It works good for all english and most non-english characters. But for Asian Fonts (CJK), a special instruction is needed. Note that we ship all of the needed font files, so that you don’t have to go through the hassle.
Enable Chinese-Japanese-Korean Characters in mPDF
This is actually done through CSS.
- Go to eFormĀ > Exporter Settings.
- Find the CSS Style configuration.
- Put the following code at the end of the configuration and hit save.
[css]
label, body, div, table, td, th, span, p {
font-family: sun-extA !important;
}
[/css]
That’s it. It basically tells mPDF to use the necessary fonts for rendering your texts. With the correct options enabled, your texts would look like this (in the PDF).
