Hi Daniele,

Thanks. Just created a user and sent email.

@nokkli Thanks so much for the reply. Too funny on the “resolved.” And your work-around struck me with a chuckle as well – that is actually the EXACT “solution” that I have in place too lol I have folks who take Taiji class, those who take northern shaolin and those who take both.
Now trying to figure out how to do “belt level” access. ??

@nokkli – How did you resolve this? I’m looking to do the same thing.

Go to iTunes and look into the information about becoming an affiliate. Find out what that variable structure looks like; global search within that plugin folder. Remove or edit.

Cool. No worries. I figure I’ll just remove styling from links in the dkpdf css – just make links to not be underlined and text as black. The link is still there, but it doesn’t call attention to itself. Although not ideal, it will work. ??

Thanks so much for all your time and help!

Marking as resolved ??

AH okay cool. Sweet – now the Chinese show up!

Unfortunately the dkpdf-remove won’t work – that removes the text altogether. I am imagining it just applies a display:none style to the element, which I’ve done in the stylesheet for various things.

But I want the anchor (linked text) text to display, but just not as a link.

No worries and many thanks.

I’m not seeing dk-pdf / includes / mpdf60 / dkpdf-functions.php. But I do see dk-pdf / includes / dkpdf-functions.php.

Should I move it or?

Any ideas on the characters bit yet?

Btw, I’m also trying to make some links not links in pdfs (just showing unlinked anchor text). To experiment, I tried putting this in the “pdf css” tab, but it didn’t work:

a { pointer-events: none !important; }

it might end up having to be some major javascript or something that’d take more fiddling, no worries. I can do without this ??

UTF-8 encoding shows the regular characters, just like this 武术抱拳礼.
From some of those links above, I ended up downloading a couple of fonts, and they’re pretty huge. I haven’t done anything yet with them, as although I don’t mind slightly slower load times on this project, I’d rather not get crazy.

I saw this on Stack Exchange (here), but not sure if it works, nor where I’d put that:

You need to enable the support of PDF Asian font like this:

$pdf = $this->pdf->load();
$pdf->useAdobeCJK = true;
$pdf->SetAutoFont(AUTOFONT_ALL);

I am guessing you’re using fpdf? If so, then this might help but I am not sure how to implement it: https://www.ntaso.com/fpdf-and-chinese-characters/

Unfortunately no.

I’ve found the same issue being mentioned in other pdf-related plugins:

Ah – it’s a font thing I guess. My site’s behind a logged-in users only.

No worries, I finally figured it out ?? I had not closed the tags ??

Yes but that just displays the result of translation, not the actual mp3 file. I’d need that directly, which their API provides, and the resulting url is what folks have been using. However a few years back they changed the API from free to paid and so there is now a captcha screen that pops up in the middle of the request, so none of these older methods will work.

However I found a couple of plugins and quickly narrowed it down to one. First was Gspeech but it is outdated, no longer plays audio yet still has large advertising. And then luckily I found ResponsiveVoice, which does a heck of a job. Now I just have to look at styling.
