Export to PDF is giving garbage characters

I am attaching the xml debug file and the pdf file. Even the sample in the grid2pdf folder is behaving the same.

any ideas?
grid.zip (296 KB)

Probably you have some problem with you php configuration ( by any chance is is windows version of php ? )

Data from debug output was correctly converted by local version of the same script.
generate.zip (292 KB)

I’m using xamp for windows, but will eventually install on a unix machine.

So how do I fix this?

There was similar report, it seems some version of win-php has not fully valid zip extension, which causes issues.

grid2pdf uses tcpdf lib
tecnick.com/public/code/cp_d … p_dp=tcpdf
try to check their samples, if they are not working as well - problem for sure in your server configuration.

I will try the examples, but if you are saying the win-php is not a valid, then where would I get one that works for sure?

Some versions of win-php is no valid.
Locally it works fine in window environment , but we have report from other users about similar problems and updating version of php helps in most cases
