We are trying out EO.PDF and have hit a snag. Some of our HTML pages show "£" (British Pound). This displays fine on the HTML version of the page, however, when we convert it to PDF using HtmlToPdf.ConvertUrl() the symbol is displayed as "£". How can we get it to correctly display "£"?

TIA

Hi,

Can you provide the Url so that we can take a look?

Thanks!

Hi,

We have not heard back from you. So we are closing this issue for now.

If you continue to have problem, you can check your page encoding. We use the encoding from the HTTP headers to decode the page (if no HTTP headers then use UTF-8). So you may want to check whether the encoding is set correctly on the web server. If no web server is involved (for example, converting a local file), then make sure you resave the file as UTF-8.

Thanks

Sorry - missed your initial reply. I don't have a publicly visible example right now. I thought I was using UTF-8 throughout, but need to look more closely, but I found a better solution which is to use "£" rather than "£". This works both on screen and in the PDF.

Thanks for the update! That's a great solution. "&pounds;" would not be mistaken as anything else. : )
