Yes. The pdfHtml5 button type fully supports UTF-8 output.

All of the threads you linked to relate to the legacy TableTools plug-in which is no longer being updated. Buttons is its replacement and supports UTF-8 output for the generated PDF.

Note that Buttons' Flash buttons do not support UTF-8 output. Likely I'll be dropping support for Flash buttons soon anyway.

Thanks Allan for your quick response. I am using pdfhtml5 button and while exporting data having utf-8 characters then data is not displaying in the pdf but when i select and copy some data from the utf-8 characters value column ( i.e. not viewing ) in downloaded pdf and paste that to textEdit or any other app then data get pasted properly and gets displayed properly. I am not getting how this happening and not able to resolve this issue.Please help me to solve.
Hope for needful response with proper assistance to solve the problem.
Thank again in advance.
