    So this plugin is exactly what I need and was very happy about it, the features it had etc.

    I can open the page in another window which allows me to save etc, or I can download it direct and I have saved it. But when I later go to open it in either Adobe Acrobat or Foxit it fails to open.

    Foxit error simply says “format error: not a pdf or corrupted file” whereas Adobe says
    “…could not open because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged..” It seems I can open in Microsoft ‘Edge’ haha but that’s not enough most users will save it in adobe and then when they try to open it it appears corrupted.

    I have investigated it as far as I can. I believe the problem is a bunch of errors are taking up byte space at the beginning of the file. PDF files are supposed to start with %pdf- but there are many error notices before that.

    The errors are in the cssmgr.php class.

    Of course, it could be something completely different, I might be barking up the wrong tree, but this is a big problem for this whole plugin if it is universal and not just me so I do hope someone gets onto this.

    EDIT: I spent a fair bit of time on this problem, just saying, including installing and trying out plugins that tried to achieve a similar result, and trying to see if I could do anything to resolve this error. Well. I finally found a similar topic here, someone with a very similar problem, and you suggested he try out your new version 1.9.4.

    I can report that this indeed fixes my problem. Which kind of leaves me wondering why this bug fix that you fixed 5 months ago successfully hasn’t been updated to the official version?

    In any case, this has fixed my problem.
