I need to print same format of all language in my fpdf php page. now i using below code in my php file.

    Apparently [utf-8 does not work with FPDF](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6334134/fpdf-utf-8-encoding-how-to), but take a look at [mPDF](http://www.mpdf1.com/mpdf/index.php) which is based on FPDF. – vstm Oct 11 '13 at 06:12

I use this code all of the time with FPDF to display UTF-8 characters.

iconv('UTF-8', 'windows-1252', value)

FPDF has problems with UTF8 ... heres a quick fix that may help:

class PDF extends FPDF {

    function Cell( $w, $h = 0, $t = '', $b = 0, $l = 0, $a = '', $f = false, $y = '' ) {

        parent::Cell( $w, $h, iconv( 'UTF-8', 'windows-1252', $t ), $b, $l, $a, $f, $y );

    }

}

Of course it is necessary to call the extension and not the initial FPDF class:

$pdf = new PDF( 'P', 'mm', 'A4' );
