Unable to create output file: XXX.pdf from latest TCPDF

[pakricard]

Hi:

I run into a bunch of "Unable to create output file: XXX.pdf " errors from TCPDF 6.7.5.

All scripts worked OK on TCPDF 6.0

So, digging a bit, and replacing all occurrences of

$f = TCPDF_STATIC::fopenLocal($name, 'wb');

into

$f = fopen($name, 'wb');

in includes/tcpdf/tcpdf.php made the trick.

I am not sure if it is a generic error, or just in my installation.

If the majority agrees, I will commit the change, if not, I will keep it for me.

Perhaps, we can upgrade TCPDF to the latest in development: https://github.com/tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf through composer?

On the PDF errors, please provide paths where they are supposed to be generated. pull request #323 provides resolutions to F, FI, and FD $dest parameter of PDF->Output($file, $dest). $file should be realpath

Is this related to Issue #325 ? Is this specific issue now resolved, and the issue should be closed?

Hi @dalers and @aingelc12ell:

I am not sure if they are related or not at this point. I know that the patch proposed fixed my issue, but it could be also an issue of my installation, so before committing it, I would like to have consensus.

If everybody else can print OK with TCPDF 6.7.5, then I will assume the issue is caused by something local, no need to share the fix.

Until I have more specific feedback related to this issue, I prefer not to commit the proposed fix.

Regarding the upgrade to https://github.com/tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf, it could be a way forward. Did you test it?
