Wingdings character in PDF

Postby Pidi » Mon Oct 14, 2013 3:00 pm

We use certain WingDings characters in a report.
The preview and print look fine, but when a PDF file is created, the characters don't show up properly.

Is there something I can do to include them in the PDF as well?

Thanks.

What version of VPE are you using? There had been a problem with symbol fonts a few years ago.

Please download the trial version of the current v6.10 and check, if the problem is gone. You can install v6.10 in parallel to v4.x without problems.

Please be so kind to post here the result of your test, because if it works, we can close this issue.

V 6.10 indeed solves our problem.
