Unicode Export to PDF
I'm testing Fast Report because my current reporting software does not export unicode characters to a PDF file correctly (and because their support has disappeared). However, the Fast Report export seems to have the same problem. The report displays the unicode characters correctly in the preview, but when I export to a PDF the characters are not correct. Is there a special setting I need to use to export the unicode characters to a PDF?

but when I generate the PDF from the preview window the characters are gibberish...
So is this a bug in the PDF export or is there a setting I need to use to get the Greek characters to display correctly in the PDF. (If I create a PDF from Word using Adobe 6.0, the Greek characters are displayed correctly.)
another approach is to use a program like scansoft's/nuance's pdf creator which installs as a printer driver
and use it to print the report.
Saving reports to a PDF supporting unicode is a big part of why I am investigating Fast Reports over my current solution (it has the same problem). So, is this a problem that you expect to fix or is an external solution the way to resolve the problem?

I have the same problem with Chinese Unicode character .. Fast-Report, actually, does not export to PDF in Unicode.
The solution may be found in a third party that built a component that export from Fast-Report to PDF (in Unicode) , like
eDocEngine from Gnostice - but it is not yet ready as well.
If you have other solution(s) - let me know.
Udi.
When the solution is vital for me!
