I generate both a DOCx word file and A pdf.
- In the word file it works perfectly and renders ok;
- in the PDF file it just renders as #
I have tried i the XML file to change the character to
ş
or
ş
And the results are unchanged.
This is a well-known PDF issue. You cannot use any of the standard PDF
fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier, etc) to convert a document containing
characters such as ş as these standard PDF fonts contain very few
glyphs.
This FAQ explains what is the problem (applies to PDF in general; I mean
not specific to XMLmind) and how to solve it in the context of XMLmind
XML Editor:

When I convert documents written in Russian (or Polish or Czech or any
non-western language) to PDF, almost all characters are replaced by the
"#" character. Is there a workaround for this problem?

If you are not using XMLmind XML Editor (you wrote "xmlmind server"),
please send a support request to the corresponding mailing list. We need
to know which product, which product version, which OS, which Java, etc,
you are using.
