Hi, I've added the create PDF add on to our local intranet and it works perfectly. However when I enable Windows Authentication (a requirement) I get the following error when trying to generate PDF's.

Error: Authentication Required
Exit with code 1 due to network error: AuthenticationRequiredError

Any ideas on how to get around this?

Hi Ryan

I don't know offhand, but the createPDF plugin does use some extra components outside of PHP in order to work. I'll refer this to Dave and ask if he's got any insights.

Hi Claire,

Managed to figured it out.

I created a local user account on the server called createpdf and added the username and password to the CREATEPDF_CUSTOM_SWITCHES on the createPDF.php page.

$GLOBALS['CREATEPDF_CUSTOM_SWITCHES']  = '--username localhost\createpdf --password YourPassword';
