Hi all,
When using pyfpdf which comes with web2py framework, there are some
issues with special characters such as accented characters (á, é,
í, ...). After some research, I found out that pyfpdf just understands
'iso-8859-1', and web2py gives him the strings in 'utf-8' format.
So, as a solution, in your python code you just have to convert the
string before passing it to pyfpdf, like this:
txt = 'Hélló wórld'
utxt = unicode('txt', 'utf-8')
stxt = utxt.encode('iso-8859-1')
pdf.cell(50,20, stxt, 0, 2, 'L')
If anyone has any doubts, just ask. I hope this can help someone...
kind regards,
Bernardo
