I am working on the project on which I have to show the report coming from service. I get bytes array of PDF file from server end. It contains some english and some chinese language in Arial Unicode MS font. When I get the byte array, I pass it to NSData and then write PDF file on path. Then open that file from local folder. When i open that file in QLPreviewController or UIDocumentInteraction, I am unable to see the chinese language characters. When I print that file. I can see thoese characters correctly. Kindly someone help me
