Display euro sign (€) in PDF document

[Jorik Schaillée]

Hi,

I'm trying to display a euro symbol within a PDF document.
However the symbol is displayed as ¬ instead of €.
The $ and ¥ are displayed properly.

Below you can find a small code snippet:

-----------------------------------------------
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
document.PageSettings.Orientation = orientation;
document.Pages.Add();

PdfFont fontTitle = new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 8);
PdfStringFormat totalFormat = new PdfStringFormat();
totalFormat.Alignment = PdfTextAlignment.Left;
totalFormat.MeasureTrailingSpaces = false;

RectangleF rectTotals = new RectangleF(0, 30, document.Pages[0].GetClientSize().Width, 20);
g.DrawString("€ $ ¥", fontTitle, PdfBrushes.Black, rectTotals, totalFormat);
-----------------------------------------------

How can i fix this?

Thanks in advance,
Jorik

Hi Frederik, 

 

Thank you for your update. 

 

Yes, we can draw the Unicode text by using PdfTrueTypeFont, please refer the below code snippet for more details. 

 

           //Create a new PDF document 

            PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument(); 

 

            //Add a new PDF page 

            PdfPage page = doc.Pages.Add(); 

 

            //Create a new PDF true type font. 

            PdfTrueTypeFont font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), true); 

 

            //Draw the Unicode text 

            page.Graphics.DrawString("€ $ ¥", font, PdfBrushes.Black, new PointF(10, 10)); 

 

            //Save the PDF document 

            doc.Save("output.pdf"); 

 

            //Close the PDF document 

            doc.Close(true); 

 

Please let us know if you have any concern.

Thank you for your feedback Chinnu.

What in case of HTML code (containing € or à) to PDF conversion?

Thank you

Frederik

Hi Frederik, 

 

If the HTML code contains € or à, then our WebKit HTML converter preserves how it is displayed on web browsers. On our further analysis, we can display euro symbol (€) in HTML using different ways (€ or € or €). If you directly use € symbol in HTML you have to define the charset as UTF-8 in meta tag. I have attached input HTML and output PDF documents for your reference.

Note: Currently we do not have support for HTML to PDF using WebKit HTML converter in silver light
