  • We have encountered an issue with the plugin’s HTML-to-PDF conversion. When attempting to render a tick mark  inside a checkbox in the generated PDF, the tick mark is not displayed as expected. Instead, it is converted into a # symbol in the PDF output. This issue appears to be related to font or Unicode character support during the conversion process.

    As a workaround, we are currently displaying a tick mark inside square brackets (e.g., [[emoticon:7e405c0fb3114c2594c00fd89a9d9667]]) next to the label to indicate selection. 

    Could you please advise if there is a recommended approach or any planned updates to support proper rendering of tick marks in PDF output? Any guidance or improvements would be appreciated.
