TCPDF - PHP class for PDF

Hello, I have switched from fpdf to tcpdf and it works great.

But now I stumbled across a problem. I use the protection feature for my documents: $pdf->SetProtection(array('print','copy'));

And I also use the multirow()/multicell() function (example 20 from the TCPDF page). I did not change much, left column is aligned left and border is off.

Here's the problem: When I copy text from the document and paste it into word, notepad or whatever, I just get rectangles. Characters/text from header and footer work. If I remove the setprotection function call, I can copy and paste text from the Multicells as expected.

Has anyone here a similar problem? I would like to protect my document (allowing only print and copy) but still allow users to copy text from the Multirow.

Thanks, Oliver

I?m unable to reproduce your problem. Try to update to the latest TCPDF version and test starting from example n. 16.

I just asked my admin, we indeed run an older version (4.2.003). I will try to update to the latest version and see if it happens again.

Thank you!

You were right, switching to 4.8.014 solved the problem apparently.

Thank you!
