Printing Unicode characters to PDF not working

[javiersassen]

I'm facing an issue when using Unicode characters in my reports. I use indicators (red, orange/yellow, green) in my table. When printing the report to Word, everything works out fine. I can save the Word file to PDF and still, the unicode characters  (for instance https://emojipedia.org/large-green-circle/) look fine. The issue arises when generating the report as a PDF file. The characters appear as a rectangle with a question mark in it. The only indicator that does show as a cirle is the red one (this character belongs to Unicode since Unicode 6.0 while orange, yellow and green only have been added in Unicode 12.0). Is anyone familiar with this issue and is there a workaround to fix this? I've tried updating the driver of the Qlik print to pdf printer or changing it to another driver but this isn't allowed.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance;)

Hi,

I did some tests on my installation and I confirm that you can create correct barcodes by using PixelPerfect templates exported as PDF and Excel templates exported in .xlsx. Instead Excel templates exported in PDF are not working as expected. I suggest you to open a support ticket with a link to this conversation so it will be sent directly to the developers.

Best Regards,
