How to
On this nice evening i show you how to install and let the extension run …
Extension: pdf_generator2
TYPO3: Version 4.2.9
1. After you’ve downloaded the extension, go to the Extension-Manger in your Backend -> Install pdf_generator2
1.1 Don’t forget to click the “update” Button after installing. Because the following Errormessage will appear when forget clicking the “update” Button:
Error while trying the pdfconversion Maybe the gen_pdf.php script was not executed at all
2. Then go to your Root Template and insert the following lines:
lib.pdf = TEXT lib.pdf.value = generate pdf lib.pdf.postUserFunc = tx_pdfgenerator2->makePdfLink lib.pdf.postUserFunc.target = _blank
3. I use TemplaVoila and just mapped a small TypoScriptObject: lib.pdf
4. After cleaning the cache, update the database reference index my new link appears hot and sexy!!!
5. Possible Error:
I use a local XAMPP Installation where the PEAR Package is included. Something will go wrong whis this two modules (pdf_generator2 and PEAR):
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare readmap() (previously declared in ...\Xampp\php\PEAR\fpdf\font\makefont\makefont.php:8)
So i just rename temporary the folder PEAR to PEAR_old and everthing works fine. (But it tooks me 2 hours to fix this little bug)
In the next days i will write something about detailed configuration!

Hi.
I’ve followed all your writings but still not working.
Not taking care of css, even basique (removing all styles…)
Do you have a special configuration (setup, constants, TSconfig, etc.) ?
Hi David,
thanks for your post. What exactly isn’t working?
My TS-Setup for PDF generating is all what you see in the upper blogpost.
Hello,
in my typo3 the error “Error while trying the pdfconversion Maybe the gen_pdf.php script was not executed at all” appear after click the “update” Button after installing too.
Other possibles solutions?
Thanks
Some more hints for the magic “pdf_generator2″
- deactivate the extension “sourceopt”
- if you are using templavoila, install the extension “tv_pdfgen”
