You need 118to switch from "Autodetect" encoding to the real one (in most cases iso-8859-1 will do) if you want to convert such page.</dd> 119 120<dt id="nooutput-php442">HTML2PS returns blank page. There's some strange messages in PHP error log, for example: 121<pre> 122Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting. 123</pre> 124I'm using PHP 4.4.2 </dt> 125<dd>It is a PHP 4.4.2 bug <a href="http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36017">#36017</a>; there's no workarounds 126except changing PHP version or writing your own fetcher without 'fopen' function calls. 127I would recommend either downgrading to earlier 4.4.x versions or installing PHP 5. 128</dd> 129 130<dt id="nooutput-memory">All I'm getting is a blank page; no error messages in PHP error log. Whats happened?</dt> 131<dd> 132The script is probably running out of memory or execution time. Try increasing 133the values of <code>max_execution_time</code> and/or <code>memory_limit</code> PHP configuration variables. 134Recommended values are <strong>120</strong> seconds and <strong>32</strong> megabytes. Nevertheless, if you're 135using <em>VERY</em> big images, you'll probably need to increase these values 136even more. 137</dd> 138<dd> 139Another cause may be a JavaScript or META redirect on page you're trying to convert. As HTML2PS script is not designed 140as interactive user agent, it will not follow such redirects for you. You may try to open the url in question in your browser 141and check if the URL will change when page finishes loading. In this case, just supply the final URL to the script. 142</dd> 143<dd> 144Also, please note that domain.com and www.domain.com <em>may</em> point to different sites. In the worst case, 145domain.com (without 'www' part) may just ignore HTTP requests. On the other side, popular browsers try to guess correct 146URL; for example, when you enter 'something' to the address bar, they may try to get something.com or www.something.com. 147This may lead to problem similar to one described in previous paragraph; the solution is the same: open URL in browser and 148check it will change. 149</dd> 150<dd> 151Yet another cause may be browser built-in timeout; in particular, Safari for Windows has a built-in timeout of 60 seconds. In this case 152you will not be able to get the PDF file if conversion takes more than a minute. 153</dd> 154 155<dt id="nooutput-memory2">I got the following error message: <tt>Fatal error: Allowed memory size of … bytes exhausted (tried to allocate … bytes) in&hellip</tt></dt> 156 <dd>The script is running out of memory.

A quick investigation showed that for some reason PHP 4.4.0 160sometimes hangs indefinitely <em>inside</em> the 'fsockopen' call. Consider upgrading your PHP version in this case.</dd> 161 162<dt id="nooutput-limits">I've increased limits, but still sometimes get a blank page immediately 163 after the script starts! Some sites are parsed, though...</dt> 164<dd>Some users encountered this problem using the GD library bundled with PHP. 165 While it matched the GD version requirement, it sometimes caused PHP to silently 166 die on some images. The problem is solved by recompiling the PHP using the 167 external (recent enough) GD library. Note that NOT ALL PHP configurations 168 are subject to this problem.</dd> 169 170<dt id="nooutput-firefox">I'm getting "PDF doesn't start with "%PDF-" message from 171 Acrobat Reader.

See also 183"<a href="#fonts-ttf-cache">I've installed/updated True-Type fonts, but it seems that ...

Note that it will probably cause problems 416with national symbols on older versions of Acrobat Reader; also, this assumes that users have all fonts used in PDF 417files on their machines. Also, refer to the description of <a href="configuration.html#font_embedding_mode">FONT_EMBEDDING_MODE</a> configuration constant.</dd> 418 419<dt>Is it possible to use a custom file name when outputting the pdf file? As of right now, the filename is long ugly string and doesn't look very clean. 420Can I pass the script a varible such as &saveas=thispdffile.pdf and use that for the file name when saving in the browser?</dt> 421 422<dd>Yes. If you're using the web interface (html2ps.php file from distribution) you would need to replace 423<code>$g_baseurl</code> with <code>$_REQUEST['saveas']</code> in the following piece of code near the end of html2ps.php: 424<pre> 425switch ($g_config['output']) { 426case 0: 427 $pipeline->destination = new DestinationBrowser($g_baseurl); 428 break; 429case 1: 430 $pipeline->destination = new DestinationDownload($g_baseurl); 431 break; 432case 2: 433 $pipeline->destination = new DestinationFile($g_baseurl); 434 break; 435}; 436</pre> 437Also please note that by default output file name can contain only latin letters, digits, '-' and '_' signs, 438any other symbols will be replaced by underscores; 439you may change this behavior by hacking the <code>filename_escape</code> function in <code>destination._interface.class.php</code>. 440<p> 441If you're using API, refer to DestinationBrowser/DestinationDownload/DestinationFile class documentation. 442</dd> 443</dl> 444 445</body> 446</html> 447
