Wrong page number on setPage() function: 0

Question

My code for tcpdf is

$file_to_show_test_details = 'pdf_view_test_details.tpl';
$test_details= $smarty->fetch($file_to_show_test_details);

// Set some content to print
$html = <<<EOD
$test_details
EOD;

// set default header data
$pdf->SetHeaderData(PDF_HEADER_LOGO, PDF_HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH, 'XYZ',$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, ''));

The function writeHTML is not working, that's why the error 'Wrong page number on setPage() function: 0' appears in the browser. Could anyone please help me to solve this issue?

Answer 1

Did you try to use addPage()?

//$pdf = new PDF();

$pdf->AddPage();

Answer 2

For your case I would recommend skipping call to $pdf->SetHeaderData and just format the html the way you need pdf to be displayed and call $pdf->writeHTML with correct layout. Mind you that you can also use inline css in your html and you will have to play a while until you get that you want since tcpdf can't render html as good as browser but you will manage to do it eventually. Html tables are your friend here
