  • Hi,

    We have requirement for converting hebrew language DOCX Document to PDF Document.
    We have tried to convert using "PDF from Single DOCX (with Fonts)" Smart Service.
    But Hebrew Language content is replaced with ### symbol in created PDF Document using this smart service.
    So we created constant, added two hebrew ttf document ("NotoSansHebrew-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf","NotoSerifHebrew-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf") and added as Font Documents in that Smart Service.
    But still we got the same PDF document with replaced ### symbol.

    Could you please suggest, what kind of font document we need to upload for hebrew language to get original Hebrew Language PDF Document?
