Hello,
whenever I upload a PDF file with special characters (æ, ø, å) it replaces them with something else (ae, oe, aa). Is there a solution for this?

Hi
This is all to do with utf-8 support and transliteration. You might find the followong article useful

Hello Colin,
I have read that article before, but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem. It didn't affect the files at all
Hi
Have you checked that your file server, not the database, supports utf-8 file and directory names? You need to contact your hosting service if it does or does not.
If it does not support utf-8 file names then there is no solution except transliteration. Note the name of the Download does not have to be the same as the name of the file. So you could have a utf-8 name appearing on the listings but the file name is transliterated. It is by default that the Download.
If the file system does support utf-8 then set the utf-8 option to Yes

Note it will not change existing names, they would need to be changed manually.
