[arabinternet]

Hello,

WHMCS is the best online Billing software that i've seen, but have a problem with arabic language, so prior to purchasing it, i want to to know it will be solved or not,

 

problem: pdf invoices that this program send to client have problem with arabic language and arabic text(client name and ...) will not been shown correctly in pdf invoices.

 

i saw demo of this program and i know this program support UTF-8 characters but its pdf invoices have this problem with arabic language and all of my customers are arabian, so solve of this problem is important for me prior to purchasing WHMCS,

some of my friends said that this problem will be solved by TCPDF! is it true?

PDF invoices are useless. you won't lose a client because you don't provide PDF invoices

PDF invoices are useless? then why is it there in the first place:roll:

They arn't exactly needed for proper functionality, it's more of a nice feature in WHMCS. You still have invoices in HTML format that you can use and print off etc

Just because of what the guy under you said. you can print the html version of the invoice if needed.

Perhaps having it generate the PDF invoice directly from the HTML would be a nice feature?

To solve Arabic language in PDF invoice,

 

*** First: download TCPDF from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpdf/

 

*** Second: open the TCPDF file after download and go to FONTS

 

copy these files (aealarabiya.ctg.z / aealarabiya.z / aealarabiya.php ) into this location:

 

your WHCMS root / includes/fonts

 

Third: got to WHMCS Set Up / General Setting / Invoice / TCPDF Font Family / custom (aealarabiya)

Then save.

Check any PFD invoice, it will work with English and Arabic both.
