Hello,
please, if that acts like you describe, please, post your settings for template items, so we can test it also. Maybe it is some template item display setting related.

Hi

This is default html

<table style="width: 100%;" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><br />{start_note}<br /></td></tr>
<table style="width: 100%;" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="50%">{billing_address}<br /></td>
<td width="50%">{shipping_address}<br /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
<table style="width: 100%;" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="50%" valign="middle">
<h1>{invoice_number}</h1>
</td>

If copied html editor, this is correct, and tables with the data you can clearly see.

I replaced the old version with the latest version of TCPDF 5.9.135.

Joomla Ver. 1.5.24
virtuemart 1.1.9
sh404SEF 2.4.2.1012
1.7.7 vm invoice

So the items are included in the source code, just not generated in the PDF?

Then either there is some problem with the TCPDF library versionand/or the data that should be generated breaking the output. Maybe some error in the italian translation file? What is the strange character in the table header? "Q.t�"

Does it generate in English?

In responce to Jans question about the strange character:

I have the same thing at the invoice template edit...


Should be

But it actually works fine... with the �.

I have a dutch installation...

Thanks for you post. I am just trying to find any possible reasons, as otherwise, I do not see why the content of the invoice should not be generated.

HI

I deleted the files of the Italian language translated by me to remove the suspicion that was the problem.

Now version 1.7.7, and as default.

I have enabled the restoration of the template as originally.


Now I see the body of the invoice.

I do a check in the forgiveness of my Italian language files to make sure that the problem was the language.
