On analysis, we found that the character “★” was not supported by Arial font. Kindly use a font that supports the character.

Kindly use following code snippet for reference,

            //Create a new PDF document

            PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument(PdfConformanceLevel.Pdf_A3B);

 

            //Add a page.

            PdfPage page = document.Pages.Add();

 

            //Create a PdfGrid.

            PdfGrid pdfGrid = new PdfGrid();

 

            //Create a DataTable.

            DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();

            string dataPath = @"C:\src\viklele\experiments\SyncFusion\TestData\";

            FileStream fontStream = new FileStream(dataPath + "Arial.ttf", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite);

            PdfTrueTypeFont headerFont = new PdfTrueTypeFont(fontStream, true, PdfFontStyle.Regular, 30);

            pdfGrid.Style.Font = headerFont;

            dataTable.Columns.Add("ID");

            dataTable.Columns.Add("Name");

 

            //Add columns to the DataTable.

            for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++)

            {

                //Add rows to the DataTable.

                dataTable.Rows.Add(new object[] { "★ AANi & DAANI ★", "★ AANi & DAANI ★" });

                dataTable.Rows.Add(new object[] { "Ⱥ Adidas Ⱥ", "Ⱥ قسائم شرائية Ⱥ" });

            }

 

            //Assign data source.

            pdfGrid.DataSource = dataTable;

 

            pdfGrid.Rows[0].Style.Font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(File.OpenRead("Arial Unicode MS.TTF"), true, PdfFontStyle.Regular, 30);

 

            PdfStringFormat format = new PdfStringFormat();

            format.TextDirection = PdfTextDirection.RightToLeft;

            pdfGrid.Rows[1].Cells[1].StringFormat = format;

 

            //Draw grid to the page of PDF document.

            pdfGrid.Draw(page, new PointF(10, 10));

 

            //Create file stream.

            string outpath = @"C:\src\viklele\experiments\SyncFusion\TestData\TableTest2.pdf";

            using (FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(outpath), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))

            {

                //Save the PDF document to file stream.

                document.Save(outputFileStream);

 

            }

 

            //Close the document.

            document.Close(true);
