AW: TCPDF and Cake PHP

Hello everybody,

I just got the Tutorial from http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/creating-pdf-files-with-cakephp-and-tcpdf working, too. The header and footer are displayed correctly, but
$tcpdf->Cell(0,14, "Hello World", 0,1,'L');
in the view doesn't show any effect.

If I put
$this->Cell(0,14, "Hello World", 0,1,'L');
into the header function of vendors/xtcpdf.php I get the expected cell.

Any ideas about that?

Thanks for your help in advance

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hello everybody,

Thanks very much everybody helps me.

I follow all steps that qwanta said and the pdf generate works! In my view I put:

<?php
App::import('Vendor','xtcpdf');
$tcpdf = new XTCPDF();
$textfont = 'freesans'; // looks better, finer, and more condensed than 'dejavusans'

$tcpdf->SetAuthor("KBS Homes & Properties a http://kbs-properties.com"); $tcpdf->SetAutoPageBreak( false ); $tcpdf->setHeaderFont(array($textfont,'',20));
$tcpdf->xheadercolor = array(150,0,0);
$tcpdf->xheadertext = 'Test';
$tcpdf->xfootertext = 'Copyright © %d KBS Homes & Properties. All rights reserved.';

// Now you position and print your page content // example:
$tcpdf->SetTextColor(0, 0, 0);
$tcpdf->SetFont($textfont,'B',20);
$tcpdf->Cell(0,14, "Hello World", 0,1,'L'); // ...
// etc.
// see the TCPDF examples

$tcpdf->Output('filename.pdf', 'I');

?>

Thanks again (specially qwanta and modfather)!!!

see you!
