I´ve found 3 bugs in the "Export blog as PDF" - Plugin:

1. Special German Characters (ÄÜÖ ...) are not show correctly in the PDF-Output (no UTF-8?)

2. If i have a multilanguage article and switch the language of a blogentry, the article is shown in the correct language. But if i try to output this to pdf the article is not shown in the same language

3. If i have ML-articles, the line with the different export to pdf-options is displayed twice.

I´m using the default theme and Version 1.3 (latest) of the plugin

best regards

Hi!

1. Yes, the used FPDF library for creation was not UTF-8 compatible. I found the ufpdf library on the web, which I added to the plugin and it can now be enabled in the configuration. I could not test it, but I hope it works. It might need some font files as described here: http://www.acko.net/blog/ufpdf
I committed this to version 1.4 of the plugin

2. Yes, the plugin is not aware of multilangual entries. It only uses the default language. Changing that is a major task in the plugin. I actually think that the plugin itself is not so terribly useful because it does not preserve HTML markup or links and images...

3. What do you mean with "ML-articles"? Can you show a screenshot?

Best regards,
Garvin

ML-articles means Multilanguage articles (or posts).

The 3rd problem is not relevant at the time, because of problems 1 and 2 I don´t use the plugin.

May be Version 1.4 will do the job.

Perhaps there is something wrong with the theme, i will check it out.
