Save PDF file in server

[mohamedtijani]

The 'F' option of the Output () method to save to the server does not work
version html2pdf 4.5.1

[SohanTirpude]

Yeah, same issue in version 4.5.0 also. Throwing 500 error.

[titostoerfall]

Workaround for this is:
[ ... ]
$html2pdf->writeHTML($content);
$pdfTest = $html2pdf->Output('', true);
file_put_contents('test.pdf', print_r($pdfTest, true));
[/...]

$mail->AddStringAttachment($eMailAtachment, $eMailAtachmentName . '.pdf', "base64", "application/pdf");

You need Define all Variable that you see on this code...

it has been fixed on master branch.

It was a TCPDF error with relative path. I add some protection to avoid it
