On the topic of PDF generation, during my GitHub lurking I found another PDF / SilverStripe implementation using Flying Saucer - http://github.com/nyeholt/silverstripe-pdfrendition

No idea on the state of that but another example to try out :)

We had similar troubles doing html-to-pdf conversion. In the recent past we've has some success using LiveDocX. It's a Zend Framework package. It requires you to start with a Docx file as a template...

I ran into the same snarly mess that Uncle Cheese did of renaming files and classes to work with ManifestBuilder.

I just uploaded my version to SS and I'm posting here too - hopefully it will help someone out!

Using the smartpdf module

	$pdf = new DOMPDF();
	$html = "<head></head><body><p>Hello World</p></body></html>";
	$pdf ->load_html($html);
	$pdf->set_paper("letter", "portrait");
	$pdf->render();
	$pdf->stream("dompdf_out.pdf");

I get this error :
Fatal error: Class 'Frame_Tree' not found in /var/www/vhosts/website.com/httpdocs/smartpdf/code/include/Stylesheet.php on line 663

I've tested the DOMPDF package on my webserver as it's working fine, so I can't really see where I'm going wrong

I've tried http://github.com/nyeholt/silverstripe-pdfrendition. It's simple and the result is quite good but the pdf won't include images :(

I wish to try also smartpdf but cannot understand how to make it work. Any help?
