Hi,

This is a classic wkhtmltopdf + non-Latin characters problem. The “black squares” appear because the font used in the PDF does not support Arabic characters

In Odoo, you can specify a font in your QWeb reports:

<style>

body, td, th {

font-family: "DejaVu Sans", "Arial", sans-serif;

}

</style>

Hope it helps.
