    Dear JotForm Team,


    is there a way to get Umlaute (ä, ö ,ü ) working in the name of the generated PDF document? We are in Germany, and nearly every second word has an Umlaut.


    Currently, if I have a computed file name (with a value of an input field) and the user submits an Umlaut within this field, the file name is empty.

    Thank you for you help.

    Hi Jonathan,

    It seems special characters are still not support on our PDF document.

    I have escalated a feature request to our developer to add the character Umlaute or special characters on the PDF name.

    Please note that we cannot give an ETA when this feature would be added or will it be passed.

    However, once we have further information you will be notified at this support ticket.

    Thank you.
