    Just started to use simple invoice. Everything works fine exept when I want to create a pdf I receive the folowing error message: Detected an illegal character in input string in .../simpleinvoices/library/pdf/converter.class.php on line 16. I found another post on this topic but without a final solution. Can anyone help me with this? Thx a lot for this great application!!!

    OK, solved the problem by changing this: "return iconv(strtoupper($encoding), "UTF-8", $html)" in "return iconv(strtoupper($encoding), "UTF-8//IGNORE", $html)" (/library/pdf/converter.class.php on line 16)
    Now I get an error on the euro sign. If I change the currency in $, pdf works well. If I try €, I receive an error message: Detected an illegal character in input string in ../simpleinvoices/library/pdf/converter.class.php on line 16.
    Any suggestions?

    hey greet,

    good to hear you like Simple Invoices - thanks

    im not 100% sure re those error
    - the pdf library is from tufat.com - you can have a quick search on their forums and may find the solution
    - also search this forum - i remember this happening a few months ago
    -- think the solution was to use arial as the font

    let me know how you go

    cheers

    justin
