Many thanks and regards

Hi

Take a look at www.fpdf.org

This is a great class for creating pdf files from php. There it addons that can make HTML to PDF

Hi groyk,

I took a look at fpdf, seams to be a nice PHP class to use in my PHP applications. Many thanks for that link.

Concerning "html2pdf", the reason I need that one is because I am installing OpenTimetool http://www.opentimetool.de/2+M52087573ab0.html on the SME (requires "html2pdf").

Regards

Hi,

"html2pdf" is just a bash script using the known "htmldoc" command line tool.
So my question is how to get the  htmldoc-package on the SME server?
Installing the RPMs (htmldoc and fltk) from Centos4.0 did not work. Well  the installation with yum went fine, but the htmldoc command does not work because of "undefined symbol: __cxa_pure_virtual" .
Any suggestions?

Many thanks and regards

AFAIK it is not in CentOS repo, but in ATrpms.

Which version did you install and how did you install?

After quickly starting yum to install is from ATrpms it drags in a lot of packages which includes Xorg and even alsa (soundcard drivers for a htmldoc package?!). It seems that htmldoc needs a window manager (Xorg) which is not supplied in SME Server and should not be installed as this might pose a security risk.

I used the following RPM packages:
- htmldoc-1.8.27-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm
- fltk-1.1.6-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm (required by htmldoc)

After quickly starting yum to install is from ATrpms it drags in a lot of packages which includes Xorg and even alsa...

This seems quite strange. I tried the same, uninstalled above mentioned RPMs and installed "htmldoc-1.8.27-4.99.el3.at.i386.rpm" from ATrpms (http://atrpms.net/dist/el3/htmldoc/). Yum did not ask for any other dependency and installed if without any issues.

So far all seems to be alright.
Many thanks

You should use el4 packages as SME Server is based on Centos 4. which in turn is based on RHEL 4. Did you issue this on a clean install or on a customized server?
