Debugging, Errorlog Howto?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi There,
in our company, we use the quickpdflibrary to print text to existing pdfs on our Webserver via php.
Now I have to edit or to fix files that were created by other guys.
I´m absolutely new to the pdflibrary and need some help.

I used the search- function to figure out how to enable an errorlog or something else, but there was no matching result for me.

My problem:

# using a ttf-font, wich is in the same folder like the script - SPK Logos.ttf
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$slogo = 		$qp->AddTrueTypeFont("SPK Logos",1);

$qp->SelectFont($slogo);
$qp->SetTextColorCMYK(0,0,0,0);
$qp->SetTextSize(30*$faktor);
$qp->DrawText($posx-(4.8*$faktor), $posy-10, 'p');

The rendered Letter 'p' in my pdf-file used the default font and not the selected font SPK Logos.

The php-errorlog is empty an in the quickpdf programfolder is no logfile.

Any ideas?

thx marco

	Hi Marco, QuickPDF offers LastErrorCode: http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/LastErrorCode.php You can use this function after important process-steps to see if it's still alright. Another idea is to check the returning values from the functions. For example the returning value 0 by LoadFromFile means that there's an error... Cheers and welcome here, Ingo
	Cheers, Ingo

	HI Ingo, thanks for your idea. That was the first thing I tried. The return values were all id numbers. No 0 value and when I called LastErrorCode the whole script stopped. In the meantime I fixed the problem by using the method AddOpenTypeFontFromFile instead of addTrueTypeFont . That is working, but I don´t understand why the old function isn´t working anymore. regards, Marco
