Hi there,

How hard would it be to modify this great plugin to work with Arabic?

Also, is it possible to have it work with multiple languages? For
example, Polish (Central European) mixed with Arabic and English?

Many thanks for the hard work.

Tobin

I am in the process of trying to migrate from FPDF to TCPDF. The later
supports UTF8.

Stay tuned.

TCFPDF support is complete.

FPDF users can migrate to TCPDF by changing the following from:

pdf = FPDF.new

to:

pdf = TCPDF.new

ENJOY!

Wow, really!? That's exciting!

I tried looking this but no sign of a TCPDF class:
ruby script/plugin install http://rfpdf.googlecode.com/svn/rfpdf

Also, I looked in the subversion repo and couln't see it
svn co http://rfpdf.googlecode.com/svn/rfpdf

Thanks

ah, it is still in testing so it is only available via the trunk.
