Answer 1

When I test your code it works fine for me. The only thing I DON'T see in your code is the require statement for the fpdf.php file.

heres the FULL php file contents for the example that works for me:

<?php

    require('fpdf/fpdf.php');  // MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THIS LINE

    $pdf = new FPDF();
    $pdf->AddPage();

    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
    $pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');

    $pdf->Output("testsuccess.pdf",'F');
?>

Finally, I found it.. weird but it will be very useful for the developers who is new to fpdf... I have mentioned that image is working and only text is not working.. Means you should include the fonts folder which comes with fpdf when downloading. If fonts folder is missing it does not print any text..

Thank you
