 * SOLVED :
    it’s because the webserver does not allow using readfile() here is 
   the code from article2pdf_getfile.php on about line 44
 *     ```
       $tmpfile = $tmpdir . (substr( $tmpdir, -1 ) != '/' ? '/' : '') . 'a2p.tmp.' . $post_name . '.' . $tmprand . '.pdf';
       	if( file_exists( $tmpfile ) )
       	{
       		if( $_GET[ 'debug_pdf_file' ] != '1' )
       		{
       			header( "Content-Type: application/pdf" );
       			header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . $post_name . ".pdf\"" );
       		}
       		//readfile( $tmpfile );
                       <strong>// replace with </strong>
                      echo file_get_contents($tmpfile);
       		unlink( $tmpfile );
       	}
       	else	die( 'Sorry no pdf tempfile found. Please try again.' );
       ```
   
 * Hope it helps other
