Re: [WebERP-developers] PDF generator in webERP.

[Rafael C. <raf...@gm...>]

HI Phil,

Thank you for your answer.

Topic 1: From R&OS -> FPDF -> TCPDF. For future pdf development, I think it
will be better to directly use TCPDF: (a) Y-coordinate= instead of
calculating as from page-bottom to cell-bottom and the script class.pdf.php
translates to page-top to cell-top to use tcpdf.php, we can directly use
page-top to cell-top and TCPDF; (b) TCPDF has interesting functions
(writeHTML, writeHTMLCell, etc.) to write code html (a screen report) into
a pdf.

Topic 2: tcpdf 6.2.6 has new fonts and others.They may be helpful to give more
options to reports.

Topic 3: With PrintCustTransPortrait.php (and other reports) I have
unexpected breaks (see enclose) and prints lines with whitespace. The
problems are inside AddTextWarp().

Regards, Rafael.
