Hi

When I use this script to make a pdf it detects a virus when sending it through Yahoo.

I use it for invoicing so some emails might be yahoo. Gmail there are no virus detected.

Thanks,
Chris

    TCPDF is free from viruses as you can see reading the source code.
    Anyway, you should add some JavaScript code to your PDF documents that can be tracked as a malicious code.
    Be sure you are using the latest TCPDF version and ask to Yahoo support for further information.

    I've tested several TCPDF examples on http://www.virustotal.com and they are all free of viruses.
    Maybe your PDF documents are corrupt, be sure you are using the latest TCPDF version.

    Yeah I don't believe that it has a real virus, it is just that Norton Antivirus which is being used by yahoo is detecting one falsely, I believe it is maybe some of html that I did in the document maybe isn't styled correctly and perhaps it thinks its a virus because of that. I will have to investigate more, but I will let you what I find.
