Hello. Help deal with TCPDF, I encountered the following problem:
for example 006 from the developer’s site TCPDF created a page and a variable $ view assigns a value to a variable that stores the html code of constructing a table and then calls perememennuyu $ view to create a pdf document using the function TCPDF writeHTML.
As a result, generates an empty strnaitsa format PDF.

What? Where mistake?

If variable $ view directly assign any HTML table as a string variable (ie, $ view = ‘
Hello World !!! ‘;), all performed with a bang for a few seconds.

Where mistake??

Hello!
Help to understand with TCPDF (the library of generation PDF of files), for me has arisen the following problem:
By an example 006 from a site of developer TCPDF has created page and a variable $view I assign a value in which it is stored html a code of construction of the table then I call ???????????? $view for creation pdf the document by means of function TCPDF writeHTML.
It is as a result generated empty ???????? format PDF.

What to do? Where an error?

If a variable $view directly to assign all code HTML of the table as a string variable (i.e. $view = ‘<table>
<tr> <td> Hello World!!! </td> </tr> </table>) ‘ that all is fulfilled for few seconds.

Couple of questions:
1. How to add current date and Page X of Y at the foot?
2. How to save pdf to file AND launch file to browser at the same time?

Thank you in advance.

@Shadley,

I did it in one of my pasts projects (using just the FPDF lib)… My solution was:

- Build the pdf file
- Store it in a special folder
- Attach the file in a mail
- No delete the file

And then I made a task in order to be executed by a cron every night deleting all the pdf files in the special folder I said.

Hope it helps.

Best,
Gustavo G.

@eric - thanks - I keep the code that generates the pdf in my actions file. Good tip re using the app.yml config file, it would make things a bit easier to maintain from the config file…
