Dear,
I was wondering if you could help me as suddenly all my websites are showing the error when I generate the PDF:
The following errors were encountered
PDF Press: There was an error in the DOMPDF Library, usually this means your HTML/CSS is not compliant in some way, please check your HTML/CSS markup using the W3C Validator (http://validator.w3.org).
Error Message: No block-level parent found. Not good.
It was working fine till yesterday and now its not working, also each website is hosted on a different server and its very strange to have the same issue with all of them !!!

Hi Again,
Finally i found a solution but its VERY strange!
My template’s header looks like this:
{exp:pdf_press:parse_pdf attachment=“0” size=“a4” orientation=“portrait”}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=“en”>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=“Content-Type” content=“text/html; charset=utf-8”/>
<title>PDF</title>
<link rel=“stylesheet” href=”{site_url}/css/pdf-news.css” media=“pdf”/>
</head>
If I remove both <head> and </head> tags then everything works perfectly !?
Any ideas please ?
Thanks

That’s bizarre, had anything changed in your templates or VPS setup?
Is the HTML5 Parser enabled in the PDF Press settings?

Thanks,
The HTML5 Parser is enabled but as soon as put <head> tag it will thought the error message!
I have removed it for the time being and will investigate further.
Thanks

I’ll look into it more on my end. There’s a github issue that seems related to this in DOMPDF. https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-dompdf/pull/384 I’m wondering if the html5parser isn’t getting set properly in the dompdf library. I’ll try to reproduce the issue
