System options

Set up the general options, and give information to make the help section and preview function work.

Field description:

• Is module active – whether or not the HTML2PDF module shall be used, when in No, the default Magento PDF’s will be used, but the preview function will still work
• Show on customer My Account – weather or not the PDF’s shall be visible to the customers
• Is in development mode –to test you PDF’s, see more in Development mode section of this manual
• License code – the code you are given from ext4mage when buying this module
• Order id for preview – used in help and preview function of the module
• Product in order for help – used in help screen, the specified product id must be contained in the above specified order
• Bundle product in order for help - used in help screen, the specified product id must be contained in the above specified order
• Creditmemo number for preview – used in help and preview function, because of Magento “feature / error” this has to be the real id and not the incremental_id. In this case the number is not 100000001 but just 1, you can see this number in the address line when you view the Creditmemo in standard Magento.

System options – Sales emails

If you want to make use of the function to attach the PDF and Terms and Conditions to the different email, you go into Sales->Sales Emails

Field description (is available for each email type):

• Attach HTML2PDF Order PDF to mail – should the order/invoice/shipment/creditmemo PDF be sent with the sales email
• Attach Terms and Conditions as html/txt file  – attach the Terms and Condition to the sales email, works both with HTML and plain text

Using the mass action print Invoice, shipping or creditmemo gives error.

Problem:
When trying to do the mass print action on the order grid screen, an error is thrown.
Error text: Page is attached to other documen. Use clone $page to get it context free.

Solution:
The most common reason for this, is that another 3. party module is extending the Mage_Adminhtml_Sales_OrderController and therefor the HTML2PDF module is not being run here.

So find the 3. party extension that also extends Mage_Adminhtml_Sales_OrderController, and add the code found in the file app/code/community/Ext4mage/Html2pdf/controllers/Admin/OrderController.php

Old style Magento PDF is shown not the HTML2PDF template.

Problem:
When pressing print in invoice, order, shipping or creditmememo the old Magento style PDF is shown, not the HTML2PDF template PDF.

Solution:
The most common reason for this error, is that another extension is installed that also tries to handle the PDF layout. So check if you have any other 3. party modules installed that has something to do with PDF layout. Then try to deactivate them in System->Configuration->Advanced or by going into app/etc/modules and change the 3 party module xml, so it says <active>false</active>.

Alternative it can also be that the module is not activated. Go into System->Configuration-> Ext4mage->Html2pdf and activate the module if it is not active.

When trying to preview a template or pressing print on invoice, shipping or creditmemo only get error - Unable to get image:

When pressing either preview or print of any of the PDF the pdf is not shown and one of the following kind of error text shows:
TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image: /media/wysiwyg/xxx.jpg
Unable to get image: /var/html2pdf/cache/*

Solution
There can be a couple of different reason for this error - try going trough these solution

• The compleate Magento application is protected by .htaccess
• The folder /var/html2pdf do not have the right permissions, should be same as rest of /var/ folder (properly 755 or 777) - also subfolders shall have these permissions

You can also try deleting everything in the folder /var/html2pdf/cache/
