Hi,
we are creating PDFs with german special charcters using Zend Framework and Zend Server. We are developping on windows machines, development server is a linux box.
On windows the PDFs contain all characters. We get some data from webservices, wrap them in utf8_decode($data), print them into the PDF and everything's fine. On Linux server the special characters disappear without a warning...
Do you have an idea? Would be great!

I am pretty sure something needs to done on your server. I am not a server guy, but found: http://serverfault.com/questions/149071/how-can-be-changed-the-linux-systems-default-character-set
$LANG variable is set to de_DE.utf8 on the server
We tried to convert the input strings to ISO-8859-1 with mb_convert_encoding but still all special characters disappear...
We use one of the standard fonts HELVETICA of Zend Framework and tried out others.
Hmm,...
