Re: FPDF or PDFlib with Cake

in TestController i added this

var $helpers = array('Pdf'=> array('orientation' => 'P','unit' => 'mm'
, 'format'=> 'A4') );

and got this error

Notice (8): Array to string conversion [APP\vendors\fpdf\fpdf.php, line 135]
Code | Context
$orientation = array(
"orientation" => "P",
"unit" => "mm",
"format" => "A4"
)
$unit = "mm"
$size = array(
210.001555556,
297.000083333
)

FPDF error: Incorrect orientation: array

So i put only var var $helpers = array('Pdf'=> 'P'));

Notice (8): Undefined property: PdfHelper::$helpers
[CORE\cake\libs\view\view.php, line 819]

What is another way to launch constructor of PdfHelper
