quint Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 getting this error "the file is damaged and could not be repaired" when using the PDF page maker contribution http://www.scales-r-us.com/pdf_datasheet.p...products_id/244 does anyone know the fix for this im running CV2.2 thanking you in advance :) Quote
alverman Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 Considering previous experiences, I think it has to do with 'search engine friendly pages' URL format. If you run http://www.scales-r-us.com/pdf_datasheet.php?products_id=244 the pdf should be generated. I wouldn't know how you can have both, never tried. Quote
quint Posted June 27, 2003 Author Posted June 27, 2003 If i use that link i get asked if i want to open, save or cancel. If i open the following code appears in my dreamweaver MX program code panel. never looked at a pdf source before, so can you tell me if this has been populated by the product or is this the default output of PDF_Maker? %PDF-1.3 3 0 obj <</Type /Page /Parent 1 0 R /Resources 2 0 R /Annots [><</Type /Annot /Subtype /Link /Rect [62.36 34.26 339.60 25.26] /Border [0 0 0] /A ><</S /URI /URI (mailto: e-mail@address )>>>>] /Contents 4 0 R>> endobj 4 0 obj <</Filter /FlateDecode /Length 837>> stream x??T?r?F??+?)eW #̳??T$9r?)????ɗ18'#ɿ?M.2? ?Yد_w?n????I??d&???3???`R?L?&3D??q??]/py?ab?X???????ℾ2??i3=$ 3"%t?| z?5??K?

alverman Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 Do not use that link pointing the browser to that address, but simply turn off the 'search engine friendly pages' in admin, then I would test it directly with browser (not w/ Dreamweaver). Quote
quint Posted June 28, 2003 Author Posted June 28, 2003 ok ive turned off the safe urls if i left click on it i still get acrobat opening but "the file is damaged and beyond repair" and a blank screen if i right click and save the file doc.pdf then i can open it and it works fine Quote
alverman Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 It could be a matter of browser/plug-in settings, I do not know.. Two hints: a) Take a look at the FAQs from the FPDF site. B) Use this workaround to create a PDF file to the server and then link to it : 1) in pdf_functions replace $pdf->Output("",false); with: $pdf->Output("pdf/datasheets/".$products_id.".pdf",false); 2) create a folder named "datasheets" inside "catalog/pdf" folder (Chmod 777) 3) change the PDF icon link to: <?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link('pdf_info.php', 'products_id=' . $product_info['products_id']) .'" target="_self">' . tep_image('pdf_files/pdf.gif') .'</a>'; ?></td> 4) create a new php file and call it pdf_infp.php and place these lines of code inside (you can duplicate an existing one and replace the code) <?php require('includes/application_top.php'); require('pdf/pdf_datasheet_functions.php'); require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_PDF_DATASHEET); $location = ' » <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="headerNavigation">' . NAVBAR_TITLE . '</a>'; ?> <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?>> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> <title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title> <base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER : HTTP_SERVER) . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"> </head> <body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0"> <!-- header //--> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES .

'">' . tep_image_button('button_continue.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_CONTINUE) . '</a>'; ?></td> </tr> </table></td> <!-- body_text_eof //--> <td width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <!-- right_navigation //--> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES .

'footer.php'); ?> <!-- footer_eof //--> <br> </body> </html> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); ?> what does this do: the first click on the PDF icon (in product_infp.php) takes you to the new page pdf_info.php, this page generates and stores the PDF file in the "datasheets" dir by means of require('pdf/pdf_datasheet_functions.php'); on top of the page; then the link "Click to download ...." opens a new window loading the just created PDF file. You can see that this is not a straight operation, but requires two clicks to reach the PDF. The names I gave to folder and files are just my choice, you can change them to whatever you want.
