Hi,

I made a PDF document on one of my servers with a main Table pages for filling tables with data, and made another page at the end to put all the summaries.

I did that with:

main_table($pdf, $some_data);

main_table2($pdf, $some_data); #using newpage2() and using footer2() to fill the summaries

and not using the some_data on the last page

It's working on this server with PDF::API2::Page version 2.023 and with PDF::Table version 0.9.7

You can see the dummy result here:

http://www.st-donat.com/pdf/formulaireassurance2.pdf

On another server with PDF::API2::Page version 2.033 and with PDF::Table version 0.10.0

It simply doesn't work and I get the message: Error: Invalid data received

From the code, I can see:

croak "Error: Invalid data received." unless ((ref($data) eq 'ARRAY') && scalar(@$data));

Which means that the $data is either not an array or not a scalar

If I put a stop in the code to get the value of $data, I get:

ARRAY(0x241c448)

Here is the part of the code that causes the problem (part of the main_table2 code):

    $pdftable->table(
        # required params : détermine les rangées et colonnes du table
+au
        $pdf,
        $page,
        $data,
        x => 80,
        w => 460,
        start_y => 490, # 550
        next_y  => 490,
        start_h => 120,
        next_h  => 120,
        # some optional params
        padding => 5,
        padding_right => 5,
        font           => $pdf->corefont("Helvetica", -encoding => "ut
+f8"),
        font_size      => 9,
        background_color_odd  => "#EEEEEE",
        background_color_even => "#FFFFFF", #cell background color for
+ even rows
        header_props   => $hdr_props,
        column_props   => $col_props,
        new_page_func => \&newpage,  # as defined above


 

        cell_render_hook => sub {    # this is our newly introduced ca
+llback function
            
            my ($page,  $row, $col,  $x, $y, $w, $h) = @_;
            

        },

     );

Any way I can get a better way of seeing the variables to find the problem?

Thanks for the help (I use Perlmonks a lot to debug my Perl scripts and it's been very useful, but this one is a bugger...)
