RH2020 PDF output fails with special character % in header

[Karin Albrecht]

Hi all,

I have a problem with the PDF output. I am using RH2020.1.54. In a file, I have a header h1 saying "100% gestapelte Balken". Apparently, the %-character causes that the PDF generation fails. Everything works fine and then the process stops at "Transforming into PDF pages" and does not come to an end. The output of this same file has worked without problems in previous RH2019 versions (new UI). Also, the output to HTML5 does work without any problems.

I tried to write the % in the source code as %, but Robohelp changes this code back to % when I switch between source view and editor. 

Is this a bug? Or is it no longer possible to use such characters in headers? To make things clear, I am not using any special characters in the file name or anything like this, its only an <h1>-tag.

Any ideas are welcome!

Thanks, Karin
