I'm working on an invoice PDF generator on my Django website. I use xhtml2pdf. It seems to be working but encodings is not correct. There are wrong signs/characters when I use diacritics.
This is a view:
def render_to_pdf(template_src, context_dict):
template = get_template("pdf/pdf.html")
context = context_dict
html = template.render(context)
result = StringIO.StringIO()
pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(StringIO.StringIO(html.encode('utf-8'), result)
if not pdf.err:
return HttpResponse(result.getvalue(), content_type='application/pdf; encoding="utf-8"')
return HttpResponse('We had some errors<pre>%s</pre>' % escape(html))
And this is the html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>title</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Č š ž Ž x y ľ ĺ ó</p>
</body>
</html>
This is the generated pdf:
Do you know how to make it work correctly?
