Hi, this seems like some bad character is rendered in the content which cannot be managed by the pdf.

I discovered such behaviour in Joomla! 1.7 (1.6) where the editor (tested in tinymce) added some confusing empty characters between <p> </p> ... So this was fixed with some hack (str_replace) and then worked well (tested on many different test servers with different content, etc.

Try to recheck the stored content of the article, maybe there can be other confusing character which cannot be managed by pdf (wrong encoding) ???

now i know a little bit more ... i make the following:

1. install a complete new server.
2. install a fresh joomla 1.7
3. install latest version phocaPDF

all works fine, but:

1. i installed a new template and ... nothing works.

The template doesnt contain any special *.php or css files ... it like a minimum template. One toher thing, on all default templates the pdf button doesnt work until now. Before installing the own template, pdf button works on all default atomic, beez5, beez20 ...

any suggestions?

Solved:

someone should notice .... show intro in article options must be enabled!

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem with a small quirk... One (at least) article works and on other it does not.
I have enabled "Show Intro" globally and for each article and it does not matter (on the page that works it matter of cause but on the non-working not). I have looked through the pages that does not work and can not see anything "different" than the one that works. And I can not see anything in the systems logs.
Any suggestion?

Regards,

Hi, try to check the content html, if it does not include some bad characters - try to remove all the html and write only text - to test if you still get the problems?
