In english:

Hello,

(Ruport/acts\_as\_reportable) does not support chinese characters in  
(PDFs) because it uses (PDF::Writer), which does not support chinese.  
I will look at (sfpdf) to see if we can use it.

I have asked our community if anyone speaks chinese. If I find  
someone, I will have them help you.

Be well,  
Gregory
