| Hi Mayur, unfortunately supporting hindi scripts is not possible in the foreseeable future. The PDF export uses a framework (reportlab from reportlab.org) to do the low level PDF processing. This library unfortunately does not support hindi scripts. I have already been in discussion with the developers. Supporting hindi scripts seems very complex and they don't plan to add support for that. Therefore we at pediapress can't do anything about that at the moment. Sorry... Volker | |
