When generating a PDF from a topic in HTML format, the extended caracter entities ( , <, & #8220;, & #8221; etc.) are not converted to actual characters (shown in their raw form).
<hr> also seem to have been stripped. Most paragraphs, too.
Is the article converted to plain text before the PDF is generated? the PDF created bears little resemblence to the topic viewed online.
This isn't that important to our use of FUDforum, but it's a cool feature and it's a shame it doesn't work well in this circumstance.

Well, I imported a message and made a PDF out it, the embed image was removed, but that's expected. There is a link to the attachment in the PDF.
No bugs there...

My browser shows it as 3 characters, which is what you have there. The reason SOME browsers show it correctly because they are set to auto-detect UTF-8.
Bottom line is that you have 3 bytes of text and PDF shows you 3 bytes of text.

I use Firefox 1.0.7 on WinXP and I do not see a single quote. You probably have yours set to auto-detect utf-8
