Wrong order of pdf_make.js and vfs_fonts.js in download page - Causes error in PDF functionality

shuaybi

Can you please correct the download order of the files pdf_make.js and vfs_fonts.js.

The concatenate/download order should be:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js-new/pdfmake.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js-new/vfs_fonts.js"></script>

Currently when you select the download/concatenate option the files appear in wrong order causing the PDF functionality to not work.

Actually, that still did not resolve the issue. Looks like your version of vfs_fonts.js is outdated. I had to download the latest version of the vfs_fonts.js file and use that instead of what is downloaded using the datatables download button.

This is also mentioned in the last comment of the following stackoverflow discussion:

The latest version of vfs_fonts.js can be found at:

Allan, if you can please update your version of vfs_fonts.js with the file that is part of the above release. That should solve this problem for everyone.

Thank you.

The pdfmake 0.1.32 release appears to work okay for me here: http://live.datatables.net/coforoza/1/edit .

Is that example not working for you?
