Unaffected writing position in case of empty fields

I second this behaviour too, in my case some fields are not displayed (which is the intended behaviour if they are empty) but views pdf does take that invisible field as the last writing position, which results in strange results when positioning fields relatively.
I can submit a pdf showing this behaviour in case my explanation was not clear enough.

And thanks for such a great module, btw.

I second it as well. I have a content type with optional fields. But if they are left empty, I don't want the PDF content to leave empty space.

I'm trying to alter views_pdf_template.php -

I have tried several things, including at line 344

$this->SetX($x);
$this->SetY($y);

$this->renderRow($x, $y, $row, $options, $view, $key);

I have changed to:

if ($view->field[$key]) {

$this->SetX($x);
$this->SetY($y);

$this->renderRow($x, $y, $row, $options, $view, $key);

}

To check whether the field is empty. And it makes no difference. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

This works:

if ($view->field[$key]->theme($row)) {

$this->SetX($x);
$this->SetY($y);

$this->renderRow($x, $y, $row, $options, $view, $key);

}

I would submit a patch, but 6.x-1.x-dev isn't listed on the Version control page. Is 6.x-1.x-dev the current release?

Here is the patch for 6.x-1.0

This patch is to be used with drush make (a default strip of -p0).

worked wonderfully, thanks a lot @lollypic!

Same problem exists in Drupal 7 I have applied the fix but no luck for me. Any ideas?

Committed, thanks!
Moving to 7.x-1.x.

Great news.

Patch for 7.x-1.x, for those wanting to help test the module.

This patch have to be commited. Putting in needs works, and make a review on it.
