German umlauts not replaced correctly in PDF letter
January 29, 2011, 09:19:47 am
We generate PDF letters ("Actions" > "Print PDF letter") and face the problem that German umlaut like äöü are not replaced correctly when we use tokens like {contact.last_name}.

I found another topic discussion this issue and checked the bugfix CRM-6630 (unfortunately I am not allowed to post external links!?). It should be included in the version we use (3.2.5).

Any advice on what to do now?

Hi,

you can post links, they simply will be with a nofollow (to avoid leaking pagerank to bob the spammer promoting blue pills).

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-6630

It likely means that it doesn't use the same code path, or that the tokens are replaced after the encoding.

It would be great you investigate and find where it gets scrambled.

Adding 'utf8_decode' in CRM/Utils/PDF/Utils.php fixed it for me:
