pdf_using_mpdf gives me error when try to generate pdf

By drupalfriend123 on 24 Mar 2015 at 17:50 UTC

Hi,

1. Enabled the module (admin > modules > pdf_using_mpdf)
2. Renamed the directory (sites > all > modules > changed the name from pdf_using_mpdf to mpdf)
3. Downloaded the mpdf 5.7.4 and unzip to sites > all > libraries. After unzip, I see the mpdf folder under libraries.
4. When I click Generate PDF > I get the below error:

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/content/48/8466248/html/BettyList/ac/sites/all/modules/pdf_using_mpdf/pdf_using_mpdf.pages.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/content/48/8466248/html/BettyList/ac/includes/menu.inc on line 515

Can you please help?
Thanks,
D

Renamed the directory (sites

Renamed the directory (sites > all > modules > changed the name from pdf_using_mpdf to mpdf)

Why would you do that? Rename it back to pdf_using_mpdf and at least that error should go away.

I like cookies!

I read readme file. It did

I read readme file. It did say to rename it. Anyway, I did rename it back and the error is gone.

Now, when I click the generate pdf, I get error:

"mPDF library is not included. Please check your "sites/all/libraries" directory or " /sites/your-domain-name/libraries/ directory " or "sites/all/modules/pdf_using_mpdf" directory."

I thought I did include the library (step no 3?). To include the library, I simply followed the below steps:

a. http://www.mpdf1.com/mpdf/index.php?page=Download
b. Clicked download next to mPDF:
"mPDF v5.7.4 Upgrade from v5.7.3 - Download (.ZIP file 321kB)"
c. Unzip the mPDF folder in "sites/all/libraries"
d. After I unzip, I see mPDF574 folder under "sites/all/libraries"

I did not see any documentation as for how to install mpdf.

Thanks.

I did read the readme.txt

I did read the readme.txt file and it is saying to

" 2. Extract the contents of the downloaded package into one of the supported
paths. There is a need to rename mpdf directry to mpdf eg: 'MPDF54' to 'mpdf'"

I went to sites>all > library > renamed mpdf574 to mpdf. Now, I get the below error after I click generate pdf:

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../sites/all/libraries/mpdf/config_cp.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in .../sites/all/libraries/mpdf/mpdf.php on line 39

Thanks,
