Hi @Horacio_Vilches

That will be the “next big thing” added to PDFDocument… other things needed to be implemented first in order everything was set before that.

But, yes, we are very aware of it and is of course in the list! :+1:

Hello Javier, Any update on that or any workaround ?

So far i need to be able to create documents using unicode in my case Arabic, so i need the proper fonts and RTL , so far in your PDF demo works perfect on the preview part, in canvas but it fails when pdf is generated.

Unfortunately i need to provide some ETA’s to the customers and to decide if we can wait for XOJO to implement this or if we need to move to other platform.

Thanks.

You could use the MBS DynaPDF plugin to achieve this.

Use go + GitHub - go-pdf/fpdf: A PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images and compile a helper-App.
