New Commercial Services Section
We have now opened a commercial services section here on the forum for registered users. If you have a Fabrik project that you wish to have someone work on for you, post it under Help Wanted. If you are an application developer and wish to earn some money helping others, post your details under Fabrik Application Developers.
Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

Try doing a full github update.
Out of interest, which did you update first, J! or Fabrik, and what version of J! did you update from?

You should really update J!, but assuming you have some overriding reason why you can't, and also I suspect it might not fix this issue ...
Fabrik should no longer be using components/com_fabrik/helpers/pdf.php, it should be using the new location, ./libraries/fabrik/fabrik/helpers/Pdf.php.
So I think what must be happening is you have a file somewhere which hasn't been updated for some reason, which is still trying to "require" the old file, after the new one has already been loaded (hence the "cannot redeclare class").
What I suggest is that you delete (or perhaps rename) components/com_fabrik/helpers/pdf.php, which should then trigger an error that tells us what line of what file is still trying to use it. And copy and paste that error here. Once we know what file it is, we can figure out what's going on.

i renamed pdf.php:
Code:
Warning: require_once(/.../components/com_fabrik/helpers/pdf.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /.../libraries/joomla/document/pdf/pdf.php on line 19
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/.../components/com_fabrik/helpers/pdf.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /.../libraries/joomla/document/pdf/pdf.php on line 19cheesegrits

OK, well that's weird. Yes, in 3.6.5 the old Joomla document library path is used (as of 3.7, document drivers are in a different location and use different code) so it'll try and use the old helper files. Which aren't shipped with Fabrik any more. But if you just updated, rather than installing Fabrik from scratch, they should still be there from your previous install.
My advice is update J! to the latest, then it'll work.
