blank invoice on large orders?

[dsgnmind]

Invoice seem to generate ok if all the content fits on one page. But now I notice that for larger / longer orders the pdf. Invoices are blank with only the standard header / footer.

 

Is this a know issue as hinted or is it fixable.

Templates uses tables for invoices. Correct dividing the table with order details on more pages is the key to success. I would ask TCPDF documentation.

[dsgnmind]

So you are saying because the table gets so large it disappears? That makes some sense. (MSWORD does strange things with tables)

 

But how do I fix it. Is it a code issue with prestashop or with the TCPDF files?

Look at these pages:

I turned on error reporting and got the following.

 

Warning: Division by zero in /home/content/77/10148277/html/shop/tools/tcpdf/tcpdf.php on line 22977

Warning: array_fill() [function.array-fill]: Number of elements must be positive in /home/content/77/10148277/html/shop/tools/tcpdf/tcpdf.php on line 22979

Line 22979 is

$table_colwidths = array_fill(0, $dom[$key]['cols'], $table_min_column_width);
