Problem with PDF creation - PDF cannot be created.

[jlee]

Hello,

I am using Fabrik 3 with Joomla 3.
My problem is that the pdf cannot be created.

The url for a specific element is:
http://forms.katartisi.gr/index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=details&formid=4&rowid=2&format=pdf

What have i done:

• Updated fabrik from joomla.
• Updated dompdf library from github.
• The pdf debugging is set to no.

What am i missing?
Thanks in advance,
P.S.: I also have another installation with Fabrik 3 and Joomla 2.5 that works perfectly.

Updated dompdf library from github

You must do a comlete GitHub update.
Do you have some other PDF component installed?

Hello, again i just did a complete github update with no luck. I have no other pdf component installed. Any other suggestions?

Can you use a standard Joomla template (Protostar), the standard Fabrik bootstrap layout etc.?
No idea what your gantry css compression is doing.
It seems it doesn't load the Fabrik template correctly.

Which exact Fabrik and Joomla version?
Are you sure the GitHub update has overridden all files?

If I take the &format=pdf off that URL, I get "Sorry, this form is not published".

Hi See this dompdf fix.
Typically will fix errors such as blank pages and "failed to load pdf" errors
When dompdf moved to github they did not include the dompdf/lib/php-font-lib/classes/

• Get the latest dompdf release from Github and extract it into a directory.
• Download the php-font-lib release also from Github https://github.com/PhenX/php-font-lib/releases
• Create the /libraries/dompdf/lib/php-font-lib/classes directory.
• In the zip file you downloaded, take the contents of the src/FontLib/ folder and paste that into your newly created directory
  /libraries/dompdf/lib/php-font-lib/classes

You have to update from Fabrik GitHub not from domPDF GitHub.

It's not only the domPDF library which is needed for the Fabrik PDF output but in Fabrik GitHub the dompdf/lib/php-font-lib/classes/ is included.
