Hi,
thanks for adding the PDF Function in the module.

I am using v6.x-1.x-dev.22.02.08 and I am getting the following error when I want to print a PDF:

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/sites/.........../html/sites/all/modules/print/print.pdf.inc on line 19

Any ideas if it is a bug, or an open_basedir restriction (and tips on how I can get around it)?

Thanks in advance

I am having this same issue.

I checked and I don't have a /usr/share/pear directory

I also noticed that I do have php-pear installed as an extension to php.

More information as to which package is needed would be most helpful.

Hi,

The PDF support is still in it's early stages.. I haven't even created any documentation on it, so I would like to ask if you have installed dompdf and/or tcpdf?

The module is expecting to find one of these tools inside it's directory (i.e. inside the sites/all/modules/print/dompdf dir for the dompdf tool). Also, the tool selection logic doesn't exist yet, so currently it's hardcoded to dompdf. You need to change a function inside print.pdf.php.inc to select tcpdf if you don't like dompdf.

Title: Fatal error » Dompdf or tcpdf?

Hi,
I haven't any preferences as yet. I noticed that there is a dompdf project (http://drupal.org/project/dompdf) although it is only for D5. Could you link into that?

I'm willing to try dompdf native - do you have your dompdf installed in .../modules/print?

Sorry about the silly question about the path- I overlooked it.

I have just copied dompdf v0.51 from http://www.digitaljunkies.ca/dompdf/ and placed it 1:1 as ..modules/print/dompdf and it works!

(BTW for anybody who is planning to use dompdf: Buggy is the pdf printing of the drupal admin pages).

Hi,

I am glad that it works for you.. Regarding your dompdf module question... I don't think I will use it for the following reasons:

1. I only use one function in that module (all the others there are for doing stuff that print does in another way).
2. I want to be able to use the same interface for both dompdf and TCPDF, so I don't want to be restricted by that one function's interface)
3. It introduces a module requirement that brings no added value (i.e. with that one function already inside print_pdf, the dompdf module is not necessary).
4. I would prefer to not be dependent on the dompdf module release cycle for the print_pdf module (i.e. where's dompdf for Drupal 6?).

Don't forget to delete the dompdf.php file as noted in the security advisory for the dompdf tool..!
