Create PDF Files in Corona SDK

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi,

I am working on an app where I have to create a PDF file and send it via email.

I found a cool lua lib called luaFpdf.lua which works fine for me, but I am not able to
place an image on the pdf.

I already spent hours but could not figure out why it is not working. Seems to be
a problem with the jpg or png file or maybe the function is not completele implemented yet.

So, if there is someone who may want to help me and dig into that would be very nice.

I have a provided a very simple app where you can just ceate and view a pdf.

Works fine as long as you do not set the checkmark to include images.

Did you check yout DokumentsDirectory if a pdf named sample.pdf is created after pressing the button?
I guess it is just a problem with displaying the pdf in the webView.

Are you in windows or mac or on a device?
