Title: Normalize non-ascii strings in the report genration

Reportlab does not support non-ascii characters (see [here](https://www.reportlab.com/docs/reportlab-userguide.pdf)), and therefore the report generation fails with swedish names :disappointed:. The changes introduced in this PR normalise non-ascii strings (i.e replaces ö --> o, ä/å --> a).
