tcpdf

I am working in SmartJobBoard with TCPDF. PDF was generated properly on the old server.

After we moved the site to a new server, it began to show errors while creating PDF invoices. The following error is shown by the TCPDF library.

Notice: Undefined index: cols in /home/pb_admin/public_html/pb/system/ext/tcpdf/tcpdf.php on line 22174

Why is this error happening?

Try inserting...

//Change To Avoid the PDF Error
  ob_end_clean();

if this doesnt work, try using ob_clean(); instead.

just before you do:

$pdf->Output($filename, $output_dest);

The error occures because TCPDF is throwing errors before the final rendering has been completed. In order to prevent TCPDF from creating non working PDFs it rather decides to crash.

Just in case TCPDF doesnt like you anymore, take a look at DomPDF :)
