[fw-general] Problems creating a simple pdf file

[Salvador Benimeli]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a simple pdf file, but I'm doing someting wrong because
I always get a blank output and no pdf file is generate.

I have the following code in a controller function:



    // Create new PDF
    $pdf = new Zend_Pdf();

    // Add new page to the document

    $pdf->pages[] = ($page1 = $pdf->newPage('A4'));

    // Create new font
    $font = Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithName(Zend_Pdf_Font::FONT_HELVETICA);

    // Apply font and draw text
    $page1->setFont($font,
36)->setFillColor(Zend_Pdf_Color_Html::color('#9999cc'));
    $page1->drawText('Helvetica 36 text string', 60, 500);

    die('hello');

    $pdfData = $pdf->render();
    header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=result.pdf");
    header("Content-type: application/x-pdf");
    echo $pdfData;


If I execute this code, the die statement is never reached and I get a blank
output on the browser but when I comment the line
$page1->drawText('Helvetica 36 text string', 60, 500); it works and I get a
blank pdf file.
I think the problem is in drawText but I do not why.

Anyone can help me, please?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using archlinux distro.
