Php Pdf Creation Encoding Fix
We have been working on a set of PHP scripts that output short A4 documents to advertise real estate.
There are 3 variations of the same document, in each of the following languages:
English
German
Spanish
Combined English/German/Spanish
So in total there are 12 document versions.
Our system uses the FPDF library to format and produce the documents.
It also uses the UFPDF extension to handle the European language encoding in UTF-8.
The problem we have is that the only font provided with UFPDF does not format well and corrupts the output. It is not proportionally spaced.
The fonts we need to use in each document are standard “Times New Roman” and “Arial”.
Due to the necessity to output full UTF-8 encoding for the European character sets, we have been unable to resolve this issue.
We need somebody to modify our scripts and/or provide working fonts so that our documents output correctly.
Attached is a sample PDF output by our scripts. You should immediately see the problem with the fonts.
Please only bid if you are experienced with PDF creation using PHP. You must also be very experienced with UTF-8 encoding and European languages.
We have no time to be lost for you to experiment in the hope of finding a solution. You must already be experienced in this work and be able to provide a quick solution.
We will provide access to our server and the existing scripts.
When bidding, please give details of your experience in this type of work.
Payment via escrow only.
Thank you.
