PDF invoice blank in Google Chrome and Gmail

[Sandon]

Hi!

 

I am setting up my order process in my Prestahop store and I have already placed some fake orders by myself. For example when I change order status from "Awaiting bank wire payment" to "Payment accepted" PDF invoice is created. If I download file and open it with Foxit Reader, everything is OK (please see attachment1).

 

But strange thing happens when I want to open same file directly in Google Chrome or in Gmail as a attachment. Same PDF file is blank (attachment2). 

 

 

 

Best regards,

Sandon

Anyone?

Install Adobe Reader and always open PDF files there.

I am Chrome and Gmail user myself and I usually open PDF files with default viewer. I would say circa 30% of internet users use Chrome and Gmail as well. So my concern is that 30% of my customers will think that I have sent them invoice without any data.

 

So this is generally know problem of Prestashop?

PrestaShop relies on TCPDF library.

change your language to "freeserif"

Thank you for helping! It's working now.

remember  only "freeserif" or change the font in class tcpdf but "freeserif" it's universal.
