Phoca Forum

I have a website where we publish a list of daily specials available in an article. With the Phoca PDF extension & plugin, we open it as a PDF and print copies to have on the counter for customers to look at.

It recently stopped working, after it moved to a new server. It was unable to create the PDF. I made sure that Joomla & Phoca PDF & plugins were all up to date. It still didn't work - it turned out to be a server security issue, cURL was disabled. Once it was enabled, the PDF was able to generate.

There's still a problem though. The PDF being shown is in black & white, even though the header image is color, the same as seen on the website. I looked at the settings and server admin says it's not anything there. I can't figure out if it's with the website or the server and don't know where else to look. Can you help, please?

Hi, hmmm, so the remaining problem is, there are not displayed colors in the PDF? Even you e.g. set some text with fixed color in article?

Unfortunately I don't have any such experience yet and cannot imagine that some script will skip colors from the PDF

Good idea! I tested it by changing a text color and the text showed up color in the PDF. It is only the image being changed from color to B&W.

I thought it may be from server settings, since it worked before it was moved. But a server admin checked into it and couldn't find anything. Any ideas on server setting/libraries to check?

Hi, the only idea is to check the tcpdf class which manages the images added to the PDF.
