Hi Tim,

We tested the create PDF switches command line and it isn't a bug.

I tried this code with multiple options and it works:

$GLOBALS['CREATEPDF_CUSTOM_SWITCHES'] = '--orientation landscape --margin-top 0 --margin-left 0 --margin-right 0 --margin-bottom 0';

Would you mind if I take a look at your code for switches command line by pasting it here?

Thanks,

Daryl

Thanks Daryl,

Strange, but I changed from using a proxy server, and it now works.

Thanks!

Actually - it doesn't... it's better, but I can't get rid of all margins;

<?php
    $GLOBALS['CREATEPDF_CUSTOM_SWITCHES'] = '--orientation portrait --margin-top 0 --margin-left 0 --margin-right 0 --margin-bottom 0';
    createPDF_fromOutput('inline', 'example.pdf');
?>

Hi Tim,

I think the problem is in your CSS formating. Try to make the body's margin to 0 : body { margin: 0;}

Also on your attached file "delegatelables.php", you missed the "--margin-top 0" .

Check out the attached file.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Daryl

Nope - didn't work... but I'm a bit rushed at the moment and may make a silly mistake.  I'll get back to you.  Thanks for your help!
