Perhaps you can look a this
http://www.phpinsider.com/smarty-forum/viewtopic.php?t=3219

it's a Smarty filter to generate pdf from pdml file (HTML-like file)

- download the pdml API http://pdml.sourceforge.net
- create the filter in your code
- create a custom function which register this filter pagesetter_user_dopdf
- create a template in pdml to render you content

How much work would it be to get this working to the point where something could just be added to a Pagesetter template and it all works?
I don't have the time or skills to get this working but I wouldn't mind chipping in some Canadian dollars to the cause.

I could contribute also. I used the old module xpdf with Pagesetter but there were problems with div and tables. Also it was impossible assign different font size to carachter, so I decided to install a plugin for firefox. A link on the page would be much better, some client asked me for it and I suggested to use online services or to install plugins. But it is not a kind solution...

Hmm, anyone else want to throw down some cash?
If so, send me an e-mail and we can get something going.

If you're a developer and want to take on this project, maybe send me an e-mail with a bid so we know how much moolah needs to be raised.

BTW for those also interested, the mpdf supports unicode and CSS styles and has a GPL license, so can be included into a module as such. I think this might be a very good candidate for the News pdf output as well. Maybe a hook can be supplied to give the pdf output to other modules as well?

For your question, I'm not sure where the permission error is coming from. HOw did you set up the mpdf.php file actually? You might need some permission stuff in there ...

mpdf uses "file_get_contents" to open a file.
when use this function and don't set the permission , "You are not authorized to use this feature" appears.
how can is set permission in this file?

It seems like xfpdf would be a good place to start. Maybe it just needs to have fpdf updated (?). On that note, does anyone have a copy of xfpdf 2.1 laying around? I can't find any downloads. I'm not expert but I would like to play around with it. Of course, if I get it working properly, I would be more than happy to share. Thanks!

It seems I have a version laying around

Code
$modversion['name'] = 'xFPDF';
$modversion['version'] = '2.0';

where to can I send it?

Not needed, I keep 2.1 plus plugins in the Austrian Zikula Archives here.

You will find there almost everything - if something is missing, please let me know.

Greetings,
Chris
