    PDFMake looks superb - that's for letting me know about it.

    I've just played around with it a little bit and it looks like it would be just about perfect for our needs.

    It will probably be a little while before I can get to the point of integrating this with TableTools, as I'm working on other things at the moment, but I like that looks like the way to go.

    Oki. Do you have any estimated date when would be utf8 fully working with this library?
    Second question, is possible to print to pdf without any special characters? Just replace chars for another chars.?
    Thanks

    Probably early 2015. I'm currently working on other aspects of the software.

    Second question, is possible to print to pdf without any special characters? Just replace chars for another chars.?

    Currently no, not without modifying the source. By modify the source you could strip them out.
