dart_pdf WARNING: Does not works for Indian languages. Those looking for Indian language PDF. Don't use this library, you will waste your time and effort.

Who is looking for Indian languages? This package does not work with Indian languages so do not use this package and waste your time. This issue has been open since 2022, yet as of 2025 it has not yet been resolved. I have wasted my 800 hours. I have designed about 10 large PDFs. Now everything is useless.

@Myepick Please, Is there any alternative for this?

It's open-source, anyone can implement proper Indian languages support. I don't speak those languages and can't implement support for them.

To be fair, syncfusion pdf can't neither. And they have a dependency in Chennai. https://www.syncfusion.com/feedback/20541/complex-script-text-drawing-support-in-flutter-pdf Their feature request is from 2020 and updated 2024.

I have tested the idea of embedding images as a crippled work-around, with drawbacks: You could render some text via flutter into an image and embed that. That will be my solution for some small user input text. But there is no general solution afiak in flutter and none in sight.
