Hi all...

I'm trying to get DomPDF working with CI using Derek's Wiki entry as a guide (http://www.codeigniter.com/wiki/PDF_gene...ng_dompdf/).

I have the following in my to_pdf_pi.php file (located in system/plugins/)

Code:
&lt;?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

    function pdf_create($html, $filename, $path = '', $stream = TRUE) 

    {

        require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");

        $dompdf = new DOMPDF();

        $dompdf->load_html($html);

        $dompdf->render();

        if ($stream)

        {

            $dompdf->stream($filename . '.pdf');

        } 

        else

        {

            write_file($path . $filename . '.pdf', $dompdf->output());

        }

    }

?&gt;

I've got the following in my controller:

Code:
function test()

{

    $this->load->plugin('to_pdf');

    $data['title'] = 'Test PDF';

    $html = $this->load->view('test', $data, true);

    pdf_create($html, 'test');

}

And I have the following in my view file (it's just one of the demos from the DomPDF distribution at the moment):

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

&lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;style&gt;

.d { width: 1in; height: 1in; margin: 5pt; }

.b1 {

  border: 1px solid red;

}

.b2 {

  border: solid thick blue;

}

.b3 {

  border: #369 thin dashed;

}

.b4 {

  border: dotted green 2px;

}

.b5 {

  border: 0.1em #0033DD solid;

}

.b6 {

  border: orange inset 4pt;

}

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<div class="d b1"> </div>

<div class="d b2"> </div>

<div class="d b3"> </div>

<div class="d b4"> </div>

<div class="d b5"> </div>

<div class="d b6"> </div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

When I try to run the function from my controller I get the following error messages:

Quote:A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: file_put_contents(/Users/matt/Sites/mbtadmin/system/plugins/dompdf/lib/fonts/php_Times-Roman.afm) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied

Filename: lib/class.pdf.php

Line Number: 2354

Unable to stream pdf: headers already sent

If anyone could help me to solve this I would be most grateful as I have to get it working today for a client's site!

If anyone is wondering as well, I'm developing on Mac OS X 10.5.1, PHP 5.2.4, CI 1.5.3 and DomPDF 0.5.1.

Thanks in advance guys...

Okay.. I think I have fixed it now...

Basically there was a permissions error on the dompdf/lib/fonts/ directory. Using chmod a+x on it made everything work as expected!

Hope this maybe helps someone!

Cheers...

Big shame on me for not googling properly! Here's a solution that did solve my issue:

What I did was to remove the ending ?> at the plugin file and Dompdf now works as a charm!

Hi.

I had an similar error.
Got also the message:

Code:
Severity: Warning

Message:  file_put_contents(/opt/app/pac/htdocs/system/plugins/dompdf/lib/fonts/php_Times-Roman.afm): failed to open stream: Permission denied

Filename: lib/class.pdf.php

Line Number: 2354

But the suggestions from above doesn´t work / help. Than I searched the internet and found the files php_Times-Roman.afm (and also as italic and bold) to download from a server.
I download the files and put it into the dompdf/lib/fonts/ folder and now it works.

The problem was:
The 3 Times-Roman afm-files were not in the fonts-folder.

Now it works fine. Smile
