Hello

I use wkhtmltopdf on Windows, thanks to flebas for explanation: http://drupal.org/node/521776

I successfully create a PDF file but no image appears, just a blank frame for each image.

I can execute wkhtmltopdf manually with success on the server. The only difference is the input method: stdin failed and file successed.

Ok, I found something weird, the stdin stream give a web page with bad path for images. Each image source path have mixed symbols \ and / because of Windows.
For example: src=c:\drupal\sites\default\files/images/test.png

But I don't know how to correct the path encoding for all images.

I resolve the path problem but the bug remains, I have no image in PDF.

I think it's not an issue of wkhtmltopdf, with dompdf occurs the same, no image neither although printer-frindly shows it correctly and using same template.

Yes, you are right: dompdf and wkhtmltopdf have the broken image bug, not tcpdf.

There may be other issues here.. Both dompdf and wkhtml will try to do what a web browser would do: access your images via the network. However, it's running inside your web server.

TCPDF tries to access the files directly at the local filesystem if it can determine that the URL corresponds to a local location.

Maybe you have to configure the access permissions of your webserver/firewall or something similar.

Finally, images are displayed in PDF with wkhtmltopdf after debugging the HTML content: I just remove the code to transform URL (http://) to absolute local path (file://). I don't know why it works, it is just a workaround.
