and running `debug($CakePdf->html())` after `->write()` shows the correctly generated links. so it's a WKHTMLTOPDF thing? |

same issue with images though. `debug($this->Html->image("logo.png", ['fullBase' => true]));` is an empty string in the pdf. |

Sounds weird... the only other circumstances I could see this happening, is when the corresponding `css` string template would be empty, or when the `block` option would magically turn to non-`null` |
| # |

and `debug('hello');` outputs 'hello', so it appears that `debug` is working |
| # |

no, still a empty string. If I call the same functions in a regular view I get the expected output. |

@waspinator Try `'once' => false` to check whether that's the cause |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:53 |
ndm |
That may be the case when the same file has already been included before... that should only apply per view instance I'd think |

hmm, it looks like I can call the `Html` helper, but trying to get a link to a css file just returns an empty string. `debug($this->Html->css('bootstrap/bootstrap', ['fullBase' => true]));` |

AFAIR Dompdf loads CSS files via `file_get_contents` |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:47 |
ndm |
@maik Is it possible that you have `allow_url_fopen` disabled? |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:40 |

with this self generated css including it works. I had a ```DS``` too much on first time. |

@waspinator The `Html` helper should be included by default... that aside you'd either use `CakePDF::helpers()` as you've shown it, or specify a custom view class where you can load helpers. Also the core view does autoloading of helpers on the fly based on their names in case they haven't been explicitly loaded. |

oh... i thin it works now |

Oct 9th 2016, 13:35 |

I would just try on your local dev environment. if it works, then you know its something with Dompdf. If it doesn't then it's probably something else |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:34 |

i tried is with all other supported pdfs generators. nothing. |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:34 |

i dont want to use wkhtmltopdf beacause i dont can use this binary |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:34 |
waspinator |
can you try to change PDF renderers to test? |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:33 |
waspinator |
@maikh I'm using WKHTMLTOPDF, maybe that plays a part |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:32 |
maikh |
hm... thats very ugly... i tried it like @waspinator said... nothing. |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:32 |

@maikh If it works there, and the CSS content is Dompdf compatible, then I'm afraid that I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point. Maybe your server responds to the CSS file request in a ways that Dompdf doesn't like, I really don't know... |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:31 |
waspinator |
for example `link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?=WWW_ROOT . 'css' . DS . 'bootstrap' . DS . 'bootstrap.css'?>"` |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:30 |

without any cake helpers |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:30 |
waspinator |
I'm currently just making the links myself. and that works |

on a related topic, I'm having trouble calling view helpers when generating pdfs from a shell. any ideas of how to enable those? `$CakePdf->helpers(['Html']);` doesn't work, and it looks like others have had the question as well. https://github.com/FriendsOfCake/CakePdf/issues/63 |

@ndm yes, in tryitEditor |

Debugging the return value ` $CakePdf->html()` should have been enough ;) Again, have you tried that HTML in your browser? |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:24 |
maikh |
the html begins at line 1815 |

@ndm its huge :slightly_smiling_face: http://pastebin.com/UEGSSckX |

there is many many content in this. i will paste it. |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:22 |
ndm |
Also have you tried to let the browser render the HTML in order to check whether it's being displayed as expected? ie whether your external file can be loaded properly. |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:21 |
ndm |
And "correct" looks like what exactly? |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:15 |
maikh |
ok, so i did a debug in CakePdf::html() the output is my correct html with the correct rel tags. |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:14 |
ndm |
Eh, my bad... `PdfView` is only involed when actions are being rendered. |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:13 |
maikh |
hm, a debug on that did nothing. It dont jumps into the render method i think. |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:08 |
ndm |
Despite the fact that you don't need to call `output()` if you don't use the return value, the snippet works for me too. Guess you gotta do some more debugging, there isn't much I could do from here other than shooting into the dark... start by inspecting whether the expected HTML is being generated (check `$content` in `PdfView::render()`). |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 13:02 |
maikh |
and this is how i implement the pdf generation: http://pastebin.com/JYSnJjwi |

Oct 9th 2016, 12:59 |

if i set this directly in style></style than this works fine. |
| # |
Oct 9th 2016, 12:59 |
maikh |
i only set a background-color for .container class. |

How do you test that the file isn't being loaded? Does the CSS file contain styles that Dompdf can actually handle? |
