Special PDF character

Hello,

I numbered my pages by inserting a special character into my template, but when exporting to PDF all my numbering disappears. Do you know a setting or a workaround?

Thanks in advance.

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 63.0.3239.84

    Hello

    It is absolutely "normal"

    When we create a PDF, whose original purpose is to be universally readable, you must avoid special glyphs. This font is not found on your machine.

    The reason is that a PDF document remains a document that needs a "reader."
    If when creating the document you include non-standard glyphs, you must also enable the option that will include this special font WITHIN the PDF document. Otherwise, a standard reader on another machine or that does not specifically include this font will not be able to read these characters that it does not know.

    In any case, a pdf intended for sharing and standard readability (on the majority of readers) you must avoid putting anything other than standard characters, under penalty of not being legible correctly.

    best regards

      For me, creating a PDF meant capturing an image; I didn’t think fonts mattered.
