I have created a pdf with Japanese content using CFDocument. But It does not showing the Japanese data. I have used pageEncoding as utf-8. It showing only blank space instead of Japanese data.
I have used the following code,
<cfcontent type="application/pdf">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;filename=test.pdf">
<cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8">
<cfdocument format="PDF" localurl="yes" marginTop=".25" marginLeft=".25" marginRight=".25" marginBottom=".25" pageType="custom" pageWidth="8.5" pageHeight="10.2">
<cfoutput>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Please help!
It seems Verdana's implementation when used in PDF doesn't support Chinese / Japanese. However it looks like
MingLiUdoes. I just changed it to use that font, and everything worked OK via ColdFusion 10. It still didn't work in Railo, but I assume that's a Railo problem, not a PDF / font problem.So, anyway, just use a font that specifically supports the glyphs you need to render.
