Solved my garbled dialog box and the printing of the document. Although it is off-topic: I do not have this problem with PDFs in a IE10 browser window. No garbled print dialogue, prints OK, no crash. IE 10.0.9200.16635, Update version 10.0.7, W7 Pro 64-bits. Adobe Reader XI, version 11.0.3. Jan I have since my last post discovered that XI does indeed solve the problem completely. Too bad M$ doesn't post that info on all the many forum topics complaining about this. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] fpdf problem?
I've been using fpdf to create pdf files for my site. All has been well for over a year. Suddenly I have a problem wherein IE 10 on W7 crashes when I try to print one of these pdfs created by my php scripts. The pdf files that I create seem fine. If I bring one up in IE and then save it to my drive, I can then exit IE and go open the pdf and print it just fine. I have removed my pdf printer drivers from my system and that hasn't improved my situation. No luck there. The exact scenario is: - script generates pdf and opens it in a new target window; - user clicks on print toolbar icon or File,Print; - print dialog opens; here I see some problems in that the (very complex) dialog is not displaying correctly with controls misaligned or overlaying other controls; - click on Ok to execute the print to printer and nothing happens; wait 5 minutes and still nothing; - NOW the problems begin; when the window with the pdf in it is closed, in about 2 seconds I get a dialog box telling me IE has stopped working.
