I’m
currently testing your awesome PDF Creator (locally) for a client project, and
looking forward to purchase, if I can get it working. The idea is to place some
.svg images and add measuring lines by generating tables with borders. I got it
working, but at some point I can’t add more tables or tablecells without
getting different errors. I believe the errors I’m getting is related to http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/pdf-creator/bug-reports/26259-Unexpected-end-of-file-while-parsing-Name-has-occurred, like Tom expirences when adding more content, but as the Darren writes in the
last post this bug should be fixed in latest release.
I’m using a clean install of umbraco 4.9 and PDF Creator 2.1, and the generated xml seems fine and valid. You can download a
simplified razor Master in which the errors can be reproduced (at least on my
machine =) here: http://horsted.dk/pdftest.zip or see it at the end of the post...
The Master
as it is works, but when changing the ‘i < 12’ in line 34 to
add more tablecells like: @for(var i = 0; i <
13; i++)it generates the
following error: There is an unclosed literal
string. Line 157, position 43.
When
increasing to 14 like: @for(var i = 0; i <
14; i++)it generates
another error: Unexpected end of file has occurred.
The following elements are not closed: fo:table-cell, fo:table-row,
fo:table-body, fo:table, fo:flow, fo:page-sequence, fo:root. Line 292, position
6.
When
changing to: @for(var i = 0; i < 15; i++)it generates a similar (but different)
error: Unexpected end of file has occurred. The
following elements are not closed: fo:block, fo:table-cell, fo:table-row,
fo:table-body, fo:table, fo:flow, fo:page-sequence, fo:root. Line 289, position
20.
When
increasing to 17 like: @for(var i = 0; i <
17; i++)it (again)
generates the first error: Unexpected end of file
while parsing Name has occurred. Line 284, position 34.
By changing
the ‘j < values’ in the other cell-generating loops you can reproduce the
same errors as above. I mostly a frontend developer, and find this behavior
really weird and have no clue what’s going on. I really hope you can help me
out, as my client expects a prototype on their visit this Thursday morning :-/
If you need more info or anything else just let me know… Hope to hear from you
soon (also if you can’t fix, as it's just not possible to add more content). Thanks in advance and have a nice day :-)
I'am also testing the plugin locally. In my code, I counted the number of lines to be parsed (content from richtext-editor, textstring and so on) to about 100 in <fo:region-body> - if I add another line, it will crash ...

The bad news is that I can't put a time on it just now. e.g. it is likely to be next week.
Thanks for taking the time to report this.
Hi again,
Glad that it isn't just me - as it was driving me crazy...
I'll just make a smaller prototype with less content for my presentation, but gonna hold you up on next week, as I really need this working :-P
Thanks for your fast reply and awesome package :-)
Cheers, Casper
See your inbox - just tried a quick patch.
I have the same issue.

Hi Kim, I've just released a patch 2.1.1 - can you try it out and see if it helps?
Hi Darren,
It works!!!! Thanks
Best regards
Kim
