Hi,

On my website my visitors can click a link that runs a perl script that creates a HTML page using print statements. If it helps this is a link to a sample of the output page. www.oeshealth.org/pedigree/alfirin/scripts/pedigreeprint.pl?op=tree&index=3231&gens=5&db=OESCA.dbw

Is there away I could use the Universal Data Exporter to create a PDF of this output page?

Hello Denis,

If you can have a link on this page that has a behavior set to Universal Data Exporter and you don't have nested tables - then you probably be able to enable your clients to generate a pdf.

Thanks Miroslav,

I decided to purchase your UDE.

I am getting the following error...

Warning: fopen(/.../ScriptLibrary/font/unifont/Arialb.ttf) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /.../ScriptLibrary/font/unifont/ttfonts.php on line 71
Can't open file /.../ScriptLibrary/font/unifont/Arialb.ttf

I tried changing the permissions for the folders & files in & under ScriptLibrary to 755. This did not help. Please tell me if this is unsecure or what the permissions should be.

My test page is www.oeshealth.org/testprint.php the UDE link is the printer icon at the bottom.

Thanks,
Dennis

Hello Dennis,

Check if this folder is available on the server:
ScriptLibrary/font/unifont/

Miroslav,

I have confirmed that it is there, as I said above, I even tried changing the permissions of the folders. Which didn't help.

Follow Up from a chat.

The extension works correctly but the table provided for exporting is generated with incorrect markup.
