Hi,
TCPDF ERROR: Some data has already been output, can't send PDF file
Is the only thing i can get when i click on my pdf view page.
librairies, modules are all installed without problem
1 simple view created with a path like pdf/% (% = nid)
All ideas would be welcome.
thanks for your help

just two weeks ago, worked perfectly, but today saw the exact same error.

I turned off the module "views_hack" and the error disappeared.

Thanks for the answer, I use views_hack too.
I'll try when back from vacation

have you found a way to havec views pdf and selective filters work together ?

webroru commented

Unfortunately, selective filters did not work for me, so the views hack ​​I did not include.

I am having the same problem, need to use the views pdf module (it's exactly what I was searching for) but get the a blank page with only 'TCPDF ERROR: Some data has already been output, can't send PDF file' in black text..

Just made a pdf page for a view that lists entities (created with the entity form module)

EDIT: disabled a custom module (that created 2 entities) and now it works.

Hey!
I have this problem on an fairly complex commerce install. Is there any way to bugtrack where it's coming from?

Here's a patch that adds ob_clean right before the ouput is returned, effectively cleaning the output buffer from stuff that might come from other modules.

Hi Zorax,
The blank page is not really an error as i thought but rather its due to the positioning and formatting of the pdf fields.
Just click on the settings link next to PDF fields and this should clear up matters.
Of course you will need a lot of patience and adjustments to make things work.
Cheers
