Title: PHP Error and wrong pdf output Last modified: October 5, 2016 --- # PHP Error and wrong pdf output * Resolved [haelodadon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haelodadon/) * (@haelodadon) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-and-wrong-pdf-output/) * I installed your free dk pdf to test if it works with formidable (most formidable users say this dk pdf plugin works well with the form) but as I try it, it only prints the page where the button is displayed, not the form entry which was supposed to be printed. * I reached onto formidable support and they said you have issues with your free plugin and this is the error that they got: * Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; mPDF has a deprecated constructor in /Users/Jamie/ Sites/features/wp-content/plugins/dk-pdf/includes/mpdf60/mpdf.php on line 89 * Hope you can help. thanks.

And thru a shortcode, the entries/view will be displayed to a page. And once the dkpdf button is clicked, it will open a pdf page of a specific entry. This is how your plugin is supposed to work with formidable pro. * Here’s a link from the formidable forum with instructions about integrating your plugin with formidable: [https://formidablepro.com/help-desk/to-jamie-dk-pdf-plugin/](https://formidablepro.com/help-desk/to-jamie-dk-pdf-plugin/) * But what happens instead, is the page where the shortcode for entries is added, is what the dkpdf displays as pdf. * The error is given to me by the formidable support team. * Plugin Author [dinamiko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinamiko/) * (@dinamiko) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-and-wrong-pdf-output/#post-8282870) * Hi haelodadon, * I just did a quick test installing the free version of Formidable Forms, I added the shortcode ([formidable id=”3″]) in a page, you can see it here: [http://wp.dinamiko.com/demos/dkpdf/formidable-forms/](http://wp.dinamiko.com/demos/dkpdf/formidable-forms/) As you can see the form is printed in the PDF, I didn’t add CSS for the form, but that can be done adding the CSS in DK PDF CSS setting (grabbing CSS from Formidable or adding your own). * What DK PDF does is get the HTML in the page and generate a PDF, in the above example is getting an html form, doesn’t matter if that was generated with Formidable Forms or with another plugin. * about this: * > The dkpdf-button shortcode is added in the entries/view section of the formidable > pro form so that it prints the entries of the specific form. * not sure if I can reproduce this in the free version, if so, please post here the steps for reproduce it. * another option will be trying formidablepro-2-pdf, did you tried it? [https://wordpress.org/plugins/formidablepro-2-pdf/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/formidablepro-2-pdf/) I didn’t try it but seems more focused in Formidable Form. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [haelodadon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haelodadon/) * (@haelodadon) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-and-wrong-pdf-output/#post-8294660) * Yes, we tried it, but doesnt seem to work. * And the dkpdf works at first, then suddenly, while testing it, it did not work, not sure why. * Just create a View for a specific form and add the dkpdf shortcode in the content of that view. Publish the View to a page and that should be it. * — * Publish view: [https://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/publish-a-view/](https://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/publish-a-view/) * — * 1. Install DK PDF. * 2. Go to your WordPress Settings > DK PDF Settings. Configure the settings that you want. The only thing I changed was the button text and align settings. I did NOT check anything for “Post types to apply”. * 3. Publish your View on a page if it isn’t published already. * 4. Insert [dkpdf-button] in the content of the View that you want to print. * Plugin Author [dinamiko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinamiko/) * (@dinamiko) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-and-wrong-pdf-output/#post-8303087) * Hi haelodadon, * Seems that create a view is only possible with the pro version of Formidable Forms: [https://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/create-a-view/](https://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/create-a-view/) If so, I can’t create a view because I don’t have the pro version. * I suggest you try another PDF plugin, did you tried these?

So not sure what went wrong. * Was there no php error? because the formidable staff themselves said it is the issue. * Thread Starter [haelodadon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haelodadon/) * (@haelodadon) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-and-wrong-pdf-output/#post-8366590) * Hi. If ever I give you the admin logins to the site for you to check, can I give it to you privately? And can you look into it? * How can I provide you the logins privately? * Just please do check. We still believe your plugin is the only way this can be done.
