Feature 'Export to PDF' broke in redmine 1.2.0

[LevskiWeng]

I updated redmine from 1.1.1 to 1.2.0, however, the useful feature 'Export to PDF' suddenly broke, when I look into the change log of redmine, I found this:
Patch #8312: Switch to TCPDF from FPDF for PDF export

I think this change causes the feature broken. Could anyone fix it or I have to wait until the developer team of redmine says that 1.2.0 is stable enough to migrate?

It looks like the IFPDF class had been removed from Redmine 1.2.0. You can try to replace IFPDF with ITCPDF in app/controllers/ezfaq_controller.rb. They are at Line 209 and Line 237. If it doesn't work for you, please provide error messages in the log file. I'll try to fix problems later.

Thanks. It works ,but unfortunately I found another problem here:
I'm using Simplified Chinese to build my FAQ, but characters in the
PDF exported is real a mess(completely unrecognized). I think it's the
encoding setting of ezFAQ is different from IFPDF, could you give
another patch for it?

I meet the same problem

when I export the pdf, redmine broke. the error message as follows

NameError in EzfaqController#index
uninitialized constant EzfaqController::IFPDF

then I changed the ITCPDF , it works, but not support for Chinese.

Archonwang, for support  Chinese  try https://github.com/edwinmoss/rfpdf

If you use RDMMultiCell and RDMCell with ITCPDF class. I think to you can use Chinese.
Because I wrote Redmine #61 and #8312 patches ;)

You can try to replace Cell with RDMCell, and replace MultiCell with RDMMultiCell in app/controllers/ezfaq_controller.rb.
