F is unable to read a dot as separator, and å ä ö in pdf files! Help!

I get invoices as pdf files. Internet Explorer has no problem reading e.g. 2.500,00 as two thousand five hundred, but when I use Firefox it comes out as 2?500,00. Same thing happens with the scandinavian letters å ä ö.

Firefox doesn't read PDF files, it uses a PDF reader plugin.

Check the encoding that is used to display those pages .

You probably need to set it to Western (ISO-8859-1).

  • Firefox > Web Developer > Character Encoding
  • View > Character Encoding

Thanks cor-el! You led me in the right direction. Problem was gone when I changed to "Universal".
