I've been using fpdf to create pdf files for my site. All has been
well for over a year. Suddenly I have a problem wherein IE 10 on W7
crashes when I try to print one of these pdfs created by my php scripts.
The pdf files that I create seem fine. If I bring one up in IE and
then save it to my drive, I can then exit IE and go open the pdf and
print it just fine.
I have removed my pdf printer drivers from my system and that hasn't
improved my situation. No luck there.
The exact scenario is:
- script generates pdf and opens it in a new target window;
- user clicks on print toolbar icon or File,Print;
- print dialog opens; here I see some problems in that the (very
complex) dialog is not displaying correctly with controls misaligned
or overlaying other controls;
- click on Ok to execute the print to printer and nothing happens;
wait 5 minutes and still nothing;
- NOW the problems begin; when the window with the pdf in it is
closed, in about 2 seconds I get a dialog box telling me IE has
stopped working.
Note that the problem only occurs when I attempt to print. If my
script opens the pdf target window and I simply close it - no
problems occur. BUT - if I actually open a print dialog I get a crash
whether I click OK or Cancel, as soon as I close the window
containing the pdf.
My question is does anyone have problems with fpdf lately? Since my
files seem to be completely normal to adobe reader I don't think
their content is at fault. It seems more like IE is not handling
them and I can't find anything online about this.
I'm really hoping this is a problem wtih fpdf rather than IE since
solutions are more apt to come out of this forum than the great
wizards of M$ Oz.
Does this happen only for pdfs you've generated with fpdf, or any pdf
file?
Good question and the answer is: it happens for other pdfs as well, so I
guess it's not fpdf.
Sorry for the mis-post here - I'll do more research on Adobe and IE.
Update:
Solved my print problem by unchecking an option in Adobe Reader -
Display PDF in browser. Solved my garbled dialog box and the printing
of the document.
Of course - the down side is that you must close the document and then
the now-empty browser window.
