In command prompt direct command execution at windows command tamil language is exporting successfully

wkhtmltopdf.exe --encoding UTF-8 http://localhost/pdfexport/phpwkhtmltopdf-master/page.html file/test.pdf

But executing same command via PHP exec($cmd) tamil strings is not exporting.

My Answer:
To export a PDF with UTF-8 Tamil language using wkhtmltopdf in PHP, you can try the following code:

php

$html = file_get_contents('http://localhost/pdfexport/phpwkhtmltopdf-master/page.html');
file_put_contents('file/page.html', $html);

$cmd = 'wkhtmltopdf.exe --encoding UTF-8 file/page.html file/test.pdf';
exec($cmd);

?>


Make sure to replace 'wkhtmltopdf.exe' with the correct path to the wkhtmltopdf executable on your system. Also, ensure that the 'file' directory has the necessary write permissions for the PDF file to be created.

By saving the HTML content to a file before executing the command, you can ensure that the Tamil strings are properly encoded and exported in the PDF file.
