I have a web form that users can fill out and that content fills up a PDF with FPDF and PHP. When a user enters a word with an apostrophe, a slash appears before it on the PDF.
Similarly, special characters like trademark symbols are encoded wrong.
The FPDF FAQs say to use:
$str = utf8_decode($str);
But I'm just not sure how to apply that to the whole PDF. I'm trying to think about it as if it was an HTML page but that isn't helping.
Any ideas?
