Question

Hi,

I just installed GenPDFAddOn, latest Version, 31 Aug 2007 on Centos Linux 5, htmldoc V 1.8.27.

When testing using:

[[%SCRIPTURL%/genpdf/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?pdfrecursive=on][print pdf...]]

the generated document misses all attached graphics - whereas they show up fine in the normal twiki print preview.

Twiki builtin graphics, like do not appear either.

The website is not read - protected, anybody can view and print pages.

any hints on resolving this issue would be very appreciated...

This is the errormessage in /var/log/httpd/error_log:

Do you write the articles using the Kupu editor? When I once did a quick test of GenPDFAddOn, I came across the same issue. It's caused by Kupu changing the links to attached files from the %ATTACHURL% notation to a relative path. See also CopyPasteLinksInWysiwyg. I don't know whether it was ever fixed.

This happens in both editors - wysiwyg and standard - with absolute path and using variables. The graphics are properly shown in std. twiki print preview but not in the pdf file. The pdf file is completely raw text - not even twiki builtin graphics displayed.

After having spent hours working on this problem I noticed there is a new Version of the plugin. Installed - and it works perfectly now right out of the box. Thanks for the great work!!!
