TCPDF ERROR: Unable to find pointer to xref table

The issue is new. I think it is introduced in the beta2. I will check this.

I found the problem. Some additional content is printed out after the PDF binary content is delivered. In combination with the views_append module, this leads to this strange error.

The latest commit contains the fix. I will publish the next beta version in some days. Use instead the dev version, which is released tomorrow. (The build will be done tonight.)

I guess I need to re-open this.

In my case, I'm simply trying to generate a PDF using the supplied views_pdf rule in combination with uc_rules which is triggered whenever an order status changes to "payment_received". Whenever this rule is triggered I get a blank screen with the message an described the op.

views_pdf (version 6.x-1.0)
uc_rules (6.x-1.0)
drupal 6.22

Thanks

I checked the diff in the commit history on this file views_pdf_template.php as seen in the repo at http://drupalcode.org/project/views_pdf.git/blobdiff/88de1de0ec227c8b8f9.... I guess there's a match with 6.x-1.0 branch. Probably that's not what the problem is @hunziker

OK! I had to change the URL for the append view in pdf_invoice to http://pdf.use-cases.customweb.ch/user/[order_id]/print_tickets. But then, I've been pondering why the URL has to be http://pdf.use-cases.customweb.ch/user/[order_id]/print_tickets. Isn't it possible to use a custom URL other than this?

I'm now seeing this error as well and don't seem to see the resolution posted anywhere.
