Please verify that:

1. You have the most recent version of the plugin.
2. You are not trying to use UTF8 characters when exporting to PDF or PS.

yep, have the latest version my default_charset is iso-8859-15 (as also evident in the stack trace i think)

Replying to ittayd:

btw, i copied the page from a word doc.

In UTF8, 0x201C is a reverse double quote. You probably have smart quotes turned on in Word. This character isn't part of ISO-8859-15 so it is correct in throwing an error. You will need to correct this in your page as HTMLDOC does not support UTF8 (#489).
