    I am using the Rapid 6.1.1.2 version of Elastic Plugin. When I export the PDF file in Chinese state, the Chinese in the file becomes garbled. Is there any solution?

    Hello,

    Please provide additional information:
    – Operating system version

    The issue will be fixed in the next Elastic Report release. Thank you for reporting.

    You will need to:
    1. Install a font that supports Chinese, like arialuni.ttf. On Windows, the font must be installed for all users into C:\Windows\Fonts
    2. Specify the font name in SCADA\ScadaWeb\wwwroot\plugins\ElasticReport\templates\PdfStyleDefault.xml
    For example, ArialUni

    The version of the elastic report I used is 6.0.0.0. Does the PDF of this version still not support Chinese fonts? Or I can solve this problem through your method. If so, can you tell me the specific way? Because I didn’t find the corresponding node in SCADA\ScadaWeb\wwwroot\plugins\ElasticReport\templates\PdfStyleDefault.xml.

    Elastic Report 6.0.0.0 cannot load fonts, so it does not support Chinese fonts.
    The described method will work with a new Elastic Report version which is expected in August.
