[PDF] Generating damaged or corrupted pdf

[MarcelloDM]

I get the error by by running example scripts .ps1 and .sh to test located in the module path ..\vendor\spipu\html2pdf\test. _

Adobe reader could not open "file.pdf" because it is either not a support file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as email attachment and was'nt correctly decoded). _

Any other got this problem? Thanks in advance.

[PROBLEM] Windows Path Encoding Error

After installing by Composer, I tried to run the script generate.sh by shell/dos. The execution failed. PDFs are generate but not correctly encoded on opening as follow (i.e. about.php):

[SOLVED]

1. Path location change for running script by shell/dos/pshell

Every test php file into the examples directory references to the autoload.php and all *.php files as follow:

require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../vendor/autoload.php'; include dirname(__FILE__).'/res/about.php';

We need to change path locations in every php script file by using escape characters " \\ ":

• autoload.php file ( 5 are the levels up to root directory):

require_once dirname(__FILE__, 5).'\\vendor\\autoload.php';

• PHP HTML templates locations (change "*" with the correct file name)

include dirname(__FILE__).'\\res\\*.php';

2. Adding statement $html2pdf->pdf->AddPage();

We need to add $html2pdf->pdf->AddPage(); to generation pdf script file before writeHTML() method.

After changing, all PDFs works.

It's because...

The method dirname(__FILE__)returns a simple string and Windows does not consider "/" as path separator among files The PHP doc here.
