How to create PDFs with non-latin languages (EG Chinese, Korean)

If you're creating a PDF that uses traditional Chinese characters (or any other non-latin language), you may encounter problems where the characters do not appear or are not formatted correctly.

For example, the text element in the below Bubble editor contains some Chinese characters:

But the output PDF does not contain the Chinese characters:

The solution to this is to use a font that is designed to be compatible with traditional Chinese characters. For example, if you use the Noto Sans Traditional Chinese font, you will be able to generate PDFs with traditional Chinese characters without problems:

The output PDF:

Please note that Bubble does not come with the Noto Sans Traditional Chinese font by default. You will have to upload it as a custom font. You can see instructions on how to do this here.

Note: You do not have to use the Noto Sans Traditional Chinese font; you can also use any other font that is designed to be compatible with traditional Chinese characters.

Suggested fonts for non-latin languages:

• Chinese - Noto Sans Traditional Chinese
• Korean - Noto Sans KR
