Hi, great module, working a treat (almost).
I'm trying to use unformatted PDF but each record is being printed in the same location on the page, rather than one after the other. I have the positioning set based on Last writing position but cantget the records to not write on top of one another. Its like the write position is being reset after each record of the view.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.

You need to set a height. There are some bugs in the 7.x versions. I need to port the 6.x-1.0-beta5 to 7.x, then this bugs will disappear.

Hi Hunziker, is there a way use height if my data is variable in length?

You could set the height in the position fieldset. But if the content needs more space then you specify, then the content will overflow your defined height. Look at the TCPDF specification of the Multicell function. There are two options "$fitcell" and "$maxh". These can perhaps help in your case.
The values for these option can be specified in the "eval before" section in the Views PDF module.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem. Im using the dev version and only one field for testing. When i set a height, I get several blank pages, and nothing more. Please advise

@syntheticMedia --> you attach an export of your view, so the maintainers can see what you have done.
