Generate pdf reports in Hebrew

Question

I have tried all the react pdf generators to support Hebrew text. I successfully built the whole reporting system with pdfmake, but then I came to realize it doesn’t support Hebrew ( rtl ). I tried to change the fonts by looking on few solutions. Somebody please specify some package that can support Hebrew in a proper way. I don’t know how to add fonts to any of the packages.

Answer 1

I am using react-pdf

I had the same problem - Hebrew was gibberish. Solved it by adding and using Rubik font.

In react-pdf it's pretty easy to add a font:

Font.register({
    family: 'Rubik',
    src: '/fonts/Rubik-Regular.ttf'
});

I also tried pdfmake but eventually chose react-pdf because it has better documentation and it had everything I needed.
