Hi Durge
I'm working on 7.3.1 version
I generate the PDF by calling (Section name + pxcreatorPDF ) inside the Utility smart shape in the flow <<
when the PDF is generated it's look like that <<Untitled1
note: I tried Smart Shape createPDF in the Flow and it doesn't work.

Hi Ghaida,
Have you passed the pyPDFFontsDirectory parameter in the HTMLtoPDF activity?

Hi,
You are facing this issue because of the non-supported characters by the PDF generator.
Make sure the HTML stream you are passing to the HTML to PDF has all the supported character.
As ex. If you have a text which you want to pas to PDF generator, in that case, don't copy-paste text from the Word use notepad.
I think it will solve the issue.

First I insert Utility in flow <<see attach " 1 "
then I called pxCreaterPDF and section name inside the Utility <<see attach "2"
I create the section using the auto generated HTML <<see attach "3"
in the label LApprovalS1 I used Arabic Language and it's appear like that <<see attach "4"
how can I solve this issue?
