I Have the some problem als this post from 2 year ago on this website. I tried everything, but nothing help.

Does anybody over here a working solutions for this problem?

html_entity_decode in FPDF(using tFPDF extention)

I am using tFPDF to generate a PDF. The php file is UTF-8 encoded. I want © for example, to be output in the pdf as the copyright symbol.

I have tried iconv, html_entity_decode, htmlspecialchars_decode. When I take the string I am trying to decode and hard-code it in to a different file and decode it, it works as expected. So for some reason it is not being output in the PDF. I have tried output buffering. I am using DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf (true type fonts).

Link to tFPDF: http://fpdf.org/en/script/script92.php

I am out of ideas. I tried double decoding, I checked everywhere to make sure it was not being encoded anywhere else.

Help!

If you pass © in UTF-8 encoding to tFPDF it should work without touching the variable at all. What's the source of the "©"-sign? – Jan Slabon Jun 25 '14 at 11:47
