Question

Using '#' in PDFUtil.generatePDFFromHTML causes everything after the # to not print

Closed this issue 4 years ago · 3 comments

For example:
"The cat# in the hat" will show as "The cat". Is there a work around to this? Currently can't use Unicode because of this.

For people looking. The work around is to replace "#" with "%23"

@GrullonD have you found any reason for this or any other cases where it fails?

I will look into this anyway.

Reason is still unknown, looks like an Android's Internal implementation issue.
Tested With other Url Encoded characters ">@#&=*+-_.,:!?()/~'%", everything looks to be fine.

For now i fixed this issue by replabce all occurances of '#' with '%23' as suggested by @GrullonD
Thank you @GrullonD for issue.
