Re: problem with FPDF and PHP

[Larry Kleinman <larry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter - that's a good question, but the answer, unfortunately, is I don't 
know.   None of the PDFs that we create are that big.  I can tell you that 
we originally had some problems creating PDFs that were around 2-3M - it 
took too long to create and the HTML page requesting the PDF would time 
out.  We fixed that by adding set_time_limit(120); to the page that 
creates the PDF.

BTW - I'm pretty happy with Zend Server.  I'd used net.data for the last 
five years or so, but the handwriting is on the wall for that product.  I 
switched to Zend about 18 months ago, and - other than the learning curve 
for PHP itself - found it easy to use and works well.

Re: [WEB400] problem with FPDF and PHP






Larry,
I have not yet experienced Zend Server but would be very keen for feedback 
on how well the PDF rendering within PHP copes with larger PDF files like 
10Mb for example.
Our present solution effectively transforms HTML to PDF using PD4ML but 
the java croaks, eventually, under such loading.

Subject: [WEB400] problem with FPDF and PHP

This is weird.  I am using FPDF with Zend Server's PHP to create a PDF and 

display it in the browser.  Everything is fine until I select the Send 
Page by Email option in Internet Explorer.  The email attachment that gets 

generated leaves out a lot of the data.  It seems to be that only the PDF 
that was created in the Header and Footer functions is included, although 
I am not sure that is what is happening.  If I take the IE option to save 
the file, it is fine; if I then email that file as an attachment, it is 
also fine.

Anybody have a clue?
