Download Pdf file from export is damage

Applicatta commented on Jun 13, 2018

Hi, I'm trying to export my report to pdf, i'd set the path to the phantomjs on my server and also set "useLocalTempFolder"=>true, and i can see the document in tmp folder (i can even open it), but when i try to open the download file it's says that it's damaged, and happens the same when i try to open directly in the browser.

I appriciate your help. Regards.

Hi there,

Did you open the generated tmp pdf file with your browser or your pdf viewer? There's a chance a pdf viewer could view the file while Chrome/Firefox will show error if there're blank lines/spaces at the beginning of the pdf file.

It is not damage but just that you have not add Bootstrap style to report. Please try to add this on your report:

class MyReport extends \koolreport\KoolReport
{
    use \koolreport\clients\Bootstrap; // <- This is important
}

Please let me know if it works.

When i use the export code with saveAs() the file is good, but when i use function toBrowser() the file is damaged

I see, this issue is caused by extra character. In your export function, you have somewhere output (like echo) string, character to stream. That will be mixed with the file content output from the toBrowser() function. That's why the file is corrupted.

Please make sure that you don't have any header() function, no output to stream (like echo), no extra character, except for the toBrowser() function of report.
