Re: iOS Emoji keyboard does not print to PDF?!
I put together a library stack that removes emojis from a field and replaces them with an imageSource so that the field can print to pdf on mobile. I wasn’t sure how to build a generalized solution that looked for emojis inside a range of codepoints so I settled for a brute-force solution. Hopefully bug 22982 gets solved and this lib will become irrelevant. Feel free to use.

Re: iOS Emoji keyboard does not print to PDF?!
I think that emojis not rendering to PDF has been a longstanding issue… and I thought that I had filed a bug report on this but looking at bugzilla, I failed to find it. (sigh). I have code in two of my apps that alert the user, should PDF creation fail, that they should remove emojis from their text. I have on my to-do list a workaround project that would use imageSource to substitute for known emoji codes.

Re: iOS Emoji keyboard does not print to PDF?!
Hi Richmond, That’s the short version of the code. Like I said it works fine as long as it is text only. When an Emoji from the iOS keyboard is added the Emoji is not printed in the PDF. > Op 25 okt. 2020 om 21:13 heeft Richmond via use-livecode > het volgende geschreven: > > " 'export snapshot' to PDF as PNG" sounds a bit odd. > >> On 25.10.20 21:47, William de Smet via use-livecode wrote: >> Hi there, >> >> A simple iOS app in which the user chooses the iOS keyboard to add text and >> an Emoji to a standard LC text field. >> I use 'export snapshot' to PDF as PNG to print to PDF. >> When there is only text in the field all text is printed to the PDF but >> when an Emoji is added the Emoji is not printed to the PDF. >> Am I missing something? >> Do I need to add some code? >> >> iOS 13 >> LC 9,6,1 Indy >> >> >> greetings, >> >> William >> ___ >> use-livecode mailing list >> use-livecode@lists.runrev.com >> Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription >> preferences: >> http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > > > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

" 'export snapshot' to PDF as PNG" sounds a bit odd.

iOS Emoji keyboard does not print to PDF?!
Hi there, A simple iOS app in which the user chooses the iOS keyboard to add text and an Emoji to a standard LC text field. I use 'export snapshot' to PDF as PNG to print to PDF. When there is only text in the field all text is printed to the PDF but when an Emoji is added the Emoji is not printed to the PDF. Am I missing something?
