TCPDF Write() after writeHTMLCell() won't display nothing


After I use $pdf->writeHTML(....) nothing is displayed on the same page.

If I use $pdf->AddPage() then the text written with $pdf->Write(...) is displayed again.

Why? What should I do to write on the same page?

$html = '<table>...</table>';

$pdf->writeHTMLCell(0, 120, '', '', $htmlbody);
$pdf->Write(5, 'some text', '');

some text isn't displayed.

If I add:

$html = '<table>...</table>';

$pdf->writeHTMLCell(0, 120, '', '', $htmlbody);

$pdf->AddPage();

$pdf->Write(5, 'some text', '');

some text is displayed on the next page.


Solution

  • I am using following code and it is working for me(see in the attached screenshot):

    require_once('../config/lang/eng.php');
    require_once('../tcpdf.php');
    
    // create new PDF document
    $pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
    
    // set document information
    $pdf->SetCreator(PDF_CREATOR);
    $pdf->SetAuthor('Nicola Asuni');
    $pdf->SetTitle('TCPDF Example 001');
    $pdf->SetSubject('TCPDF Tutorial');
    $pdf->SetKeywords('TCPDF, PDF, example, test, guide');
    
    // set default header data
    $pdf->SetHeaderData(PDF_HEADER_LOGO, PDF_HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH, PDF_HEADER_TITLE.' 001', PDF_HEADER_STRING);
    
    // set header and footer fonts
    $pdf->setHeaderFont(Array(PDF_FONT_NAME_MAIN, '', PDF_FONT_SIZE_MAIN));
    $pdf->setFooterFont(Array(PDF_FONT_NAME_DATA, '', PDF_FONT_SIZE_DATA));
    
    // set default monospaced font
    $pdf->SetDefaultMonospacedFont(PDF_FONT_MONOSPACED);
    
    //set margins
    $pdf->SetMargins(PDF_MARGIN_LEFT, PDF_MARGIN_TOP, PDF_MARGIN_RIGHT);
    $pdf->SetHeaderMargin(PDF_MARGIN_HEADER);
    $pdf->SetFooterMargin(PDF_MARGIN_FOOTER);
    
    //set auto page breaks
    $pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(TRUE, PDF_MARGIN_BOTTOM);
    
    //set image scale factor
    $pdf->setImageScale(PDF_IMAGE_SCALE_RATIO);
    
    //set some language-dependent strings
    $pdf->setLanguageArray($l);
    
    // ---------------------------------------------------------
    
    // set default font subsetting mode
    $pdf->setFontSubsetting(true);
    
    // Set font
    // dejavusans is a UTF-8 Unicode font, if you only need to
    // print standard ASCII chars, you can use core fonts like
    // helvetica or times to reduce file size.
    $pdf->SetFont('dejavusans', '', 14, '', true);
    
    // Add a page
    // This method has several options, check the source code documentation for more information.
    $pdf->AddPage();
    
    // Set some content to print
    $html = <<<EOD
    <h1>Welcome to <a href="http://www.tcpdf.org" style="text-decoration:none;background-color:#CC0000;color:black;">&nbsp;<span style="color:black;">TC</span><span style="color:white;">PDF</span>&nbsp;</a>!</h1>

    $pdf->writeHTMLCell($w=0, $h=0, $x='', $y='', $html, $border=0, $ln=1, $fill=0, $reseth=true, $align='', $autopadding=true);

    $pdf->Output('example_001.pdf', 'I');
