Hi,
I have tested TCPDF already, it works fine for English characters but it is not working fine with my Unicode Characters at all.

It generated only blank pdf file, it seems it doesn't support with my Unicode at all.

How can i fix this???

Thanks for your help.

You need to change the font

You need to change the font used by the PDF sub-module.. I am not sure if the fonts supplied with TCPDF support the Khmer unicode (I think they are only CJK - Chinese, Japan and Korean).

Anyway, with some work with the tools provided by TCPDF you should be able to generate a Khmer-compatible Unicode font, which you can then specify to the PDF sub-module.

Is there any solution found

Is there any solution found for this problem?
I tried same thing with TCPDF. I converted Khmer Unicode .ttf fonts to .ufm fonts, and than converted to TCPDF fonts, it worked. But it has some errors in text like + sign under letter or a dashed circle between letters instead of the letter after placed to bottom or around?
Any improvements for one year?
