Hi I'm attempting to use the ASPFPDF class to output an image on a pdf using the very simple code below:
<!--#include file="fpdf.asp"-->
<%
Dim pages
Dim pdf
Set pdf=CreateJsObject("FPDF")
pdf.CreatePDF "P", "mm", "A4"
pdf.SetPath "fpdf/"
pdf.Open()
pdf.AddPage("P")
pdf.Image "invoiceheader.jpg"
pdf.Output ()
%>
When run, this script should open the pdf but with Adobe Reader I get a "File does not begin with %pdf" message. I've tried using other readers with similar results.
If I remove the image line and output some text (e.g. pdf.Cell 40,5,"Date",0,1,"R"), everything works perfectly.
Anyone got any ideas before I go mad!
Thank you.
The answer to the above question is that the FPDF seems to need to be on a fully qualified domain - I was running on a machine with using a custom hosts file to point the URL at the development server. As soon as I moved the code to the live server, everything worked!
I don't fully understand why, but this might help someone else...
