I think it would be much better to create an overridden Header method in your class that extends the original TCPDF class.

I wonder if [$pdf->Output("example_002.pdf", "F");] works?

well if you really want to reuse the function, best practice on my point of view is convert it into a library with the filename as parameter, also make sure that the path you are saving the file to is writable. since you wont post how exactly did you use the function inside the controller; it is difficult for me to trouble shoot.

The code is exactly the same in both cases and not different from your configuration. When it is called from a controller within the application. It has no filename, outside the application folder (exact same code) it works. Strange?

I had a really strange issue. When the test controller is run from within the application/controllers folder the resulting PDF has no filename? eg. There is no PDF title and when you go to save the filename is the URL of the controller, not the PDF filename. Outside of these folders eg Web Root the filename has no problem. Anybody have any thoughts on that?

It took only two minutes to integrate TCPDF and start working.
Better place to tcpdf libraries is application/plugins instead of system/plugin.

Thanks,

I’ve never tried doing that, i think it doesn’t work because the class is not pre loaded, unlike the native CI classes that they are pre loaded. I’ll see what I can do bout this. ^_^
