cangelis / l4pdf Goto Github PK

I can't seem to add any tags and have them display as the PDF. The only way I was able to get images to show up, is to having a background-image set in a css file. I can't even add a <style> tag to the template, for dynamic image paths

Could you make it campatible with Laravel 5? Thanks!

If the class is called several times using the Laravel facade (e.g. PDF::loadView(...)) in order to print different PDFs, each PDF generated also contains the content from the previous ones (e.g. when printing several invoices in a single run, invoice 1 is fine, invoice 2 is a composite of 1 and 2, invoice 2 is a composite of 1,2 and 3).

The problem is that the $htmlContent attribute isn't cleared between calls to generatePDF().

There are at least two possible ways to handle this (which is why this isn't a pull request!) You could:

1. reverse my earlier suggestion that allowed loadView() to concatenate new content to the end of htmlContent, so that it reverts to overwriting it instead.
2. extend the process that removes temporary files to also reset the html content accumulated during their preparation.

There are probably others too.

After spending a long time trying to get wkhtmltopdf to install correctly on my vagrant vm, I am now getting the above error when using:

PDF::loadUrl('http://www.laravel.com')->download('laravel.pdf');

It's creating the pdf of the page with the same file name and this is located in the /vagrant/app/storage/ directory.

Aside from this problem I really like the package, great work.

Me again 😄, I am having varying success with this package...

This is the code I am using at the moment:

$job = Job::findOrFail($index);
$admin = Company::findOrFail(1);
return PDF::loadView('quotes.forward', compact('job', 'admin'))->save('/vagrant/public/test.pdf');

It will stream and download the output but when I try and save it I get the above message. I have tried changing the directory but it makes no difference. A blank file is created in the correct directory with the title matching the error (in this case /test.pdf8O1RWi)

I cannot work out what is causing the random string to be appended at the end of the filename or how to fix this problem.

The output pdf that it is producing when it streams/downloads is excellent.

Is it supports the Arabic language?

I'm receiving this error after installing 0.12 on ubuntu 13.10:
PDF could not be created: "Segmentation fault (core dumped)\n"

It worked good with 0.11on ubuntu 12.04.

What's wrong?

Had a bit of an issue today where l4pdf was constantly refusing to give back a pdf. Tracked it down to an exit code of 1 from wkhtmltopdf; the reason however is a bit interesting --

# wkhtmltopdf 5424552c6da9e465e9.html ./test.pdf

Essentially it's errorring out because of random css/js on a page (pretty typical css+jss I should say).

If that's what error code 1 means, it might be a good idea to only error on > 1 ?
