we have already did a script to export HTML to PDF using php. The only problem we facing is with characters, the english version is working perfectly. but, the Arabic is not. Am guessing its something related to the parameters within the script.

                            'encoding'      => get_var('encoding', $_REQUEST, 255, "ISO-8859-2"),

 

Change that to:

                            'encoding'      => get_var('encoding', $_REQUEST, 255, "UTF-8"),

 

 

It's worth a shot.  I'm not familiar with what you're using, but the encoding HAS to be utf-8.

Thanks for your prompt response, I just tried that and didn't work out.
