confluence PDF preview shows strange characters for Chinese

Paul DeSousa1

When I use the PDF previewer that contains a document that has Chinese characters, it shows strange characters instead of the normal hanzi. When the PDF is downloaded the characters are just fine, they are only mumbled in the previewer.

Characters such as the following 永久许可证 appears as 8E,`

SharpView High Resolution PDF Viewer for Atlassian Confluence supports Chinese characters - among other features. It has been supported, maintained, and updated for years, since Nov 2010.

Here's a video (we do need new video wink ):

Thanks Elizabeth, we have no need for high resolution previews. We only display Chinese characters in the PDF preview, and this plugin I believe is a little more than needed, and too expensive for us at this time.

Great thanks. Quick question, how do I use it? There is no real documentation. I installed it and see no new macro. The pdf images are on in the configure section but they do not "pop-up"? please help.

Rui Rodrigues

Hi Robert, There is no macro, you only need to add a link pointing to PDF file and do mouse over that link, a popup will appear showing the pdf popup. Probably you need to add some configuration. If it's useful for you and you want use it, I can help you to configure that. Thanks. Cheers, RMRodrigues.

Thanks so much Rui. I added a PDF link and mouse over and nothing. I am using Chrome and I do not have any pop-up blocker or anything. Any thoughts on how to get the pop-up working? If I click on the link, it does shows the PDF, but it always did that. I also tried a simple png file, same results...
