custom-code display-message & tcpdf actions have different behaviours

teldrive 26 May, 2014
I appreciate if someone can help, pursuing to generate a table with different data collection i have detected different behaviours on custom-code display-message & tcpdf actions, my goal is get similar results of custom-code on tcpdf action
here is a simple code for testing in three different setup-actions 
<table width="600" height="81" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" bordercolor="#000000">
<?php
for($i=0;$i<4;$i++){
?>
  <tr>
  <td   bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><strong> <?php echo $i; ?></strong></td>
    <td   bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><strong> title1</strong></td>
    <td ><?php echo $form->data['paper1']['posternombre']; ?></td>
    <td   bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><strong> title2</strong></td>
    <td ><?php echo $form->data['paper1']['seccionnombre']; ?></td>
    <td  bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><strong> title3</strong></td>
    <td ><?php echo $form->data['paper1']['tipo']; ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
<?php
}
?>
  </table>

Hi teldrive,

it looks as though the TCPDF library doesn't support attributes like bgcolor="#CCCCCC" Have you tried using CSS instead?
Their help documents might give you some clues?

Hi Bob, thanks by reply, i did some research, tcpdf supports on tables bgcolor="#FFFF00", can be checked at http://www.tcpdf.org/examples/example_061.phps
I did some progress getting that display message action shows same aspect than custom code action using a hidden field "html" and buffering all html code generated with php variables:
in custom code action 
<?php
 ob_start();
?>
<html>
................
</html>
<?php
$form->data['html'] = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
?>

and after in display message action {html}
I tried this method with TCPDF but problem remains about hidding table border, due to is an external application i don't know if is tcpdf issue i follow seeking solution if you have any clue let me know................
</html>
<?php
$form->data['html'] = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
?>[/code]
and after in display message action {html}
but issue remains with tcpdf because unformats table, due to is an external application i don't know if is tcpdf issue i follow seeking solution if you have any clue let me know

Hi Max, Bob
Finally I understood pdf conversión is a tricky issue I tried with http://www.fpdf.org/ and tcpdf libraries but then discovered what excelect job you have done with action tcpdf. I have found some HTML/Php errors on my form and finally is working fine, basic tags for tables as <bgcolor> are supported, 
<td bgcolor="#CCCCCC" colspan="2"></td>

Thanks for your support😀
