PDF files do not export correctly in languages and locations with non-Latin 1 code pages

In the IBM Spectrum® Control, PDF files do not export correctly in languages and locations where non-Latin 1 code pages are used.

Problem

When you export information from a page in the IBM Spectrum Control GUI to a PDF, the non-Latin 1 characters are stripped from the output. The following languages are affected:
  • Chinese (Simplified)
  • Chinese (Traditional)
  • Czech
  • Hungarian
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Polish
  • Russian

When you export information to CSV and HTML, the correct output is generated in all languages and locations.

Action

You must use IBM® Cognos® Analytics to generate reports and export these reports as PDF files. For more information about exporting reports as PDF files, see IBM Cognos Business Intelligence knowledge documentation Version 11.2.0
