[Plugin: Kalin's PDF Creation Station] Empty Page

I have exactly the same problem, blank page

Hi, sorry it took so long. I don’t know how to set up notifications so I get emailed when someone posts here.
So are you guys talking about the link to the PDF itself in the post, or are you talking about one or the other of the admin menus? Admittedly my admin menus are a bit heavier than normal plugins, particularly the Tool page, since it has to list out all the pages and posts in your blog.

Hi, I’m talking about the WP-backend. When I started to create the PDF there opened a blank page.

Okay, I think you’re talking about a bug I had in just the Firefox browser, where when you hit the “create PDF!” button on the tool page, an empty modal popup would appear. This should be fixed in version 3.1.

Yes, I’m talking exactly about this. A short message here would be nice when it is fixed.

yeah, it should be fixed as of earlier this week when I put out version 3.1. Let me know if it’s still a problem.

I tried to use the plugin again a few minutes ago. I uploaded an image to show you the problem. It’s the same with Chrome and Firefox.

Ah, okay, so this is a completely different problem. The page isn’t just taking a long time to load, is it? I know the admin menus are a bit heavier than most, especially if you’ve got a lot of posts, but if it’s locking up entirely, I don’t know. Even if you’ve got hundreds of posts it should all show up before the 30 second timeout. Perhaps something else is going on. Could you tell me what other plugins you have and what version of wordpress you’re using? You’re not using an older version of PHP are you?

Okay, thanks. I’ll try installing these in the next couple weeks and see if any of them cause this problem for me.

I have experienced the same issue: That is, when I click on the PDF Creation Station link under settings, I end up with a mostly-blank page: the last HTML that’s generated is <div id="contextual-help-wrap" class="hidden">

My apache error log shows this message:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/kalins-pdf-creation-station/kalins-pdf-creation-station.php on line 334,

I was able to resolve this by installing php-xml on the server.

Thanks John for posting that. That definitely helped. So I’m pretty sure what’s happening is something is up with XML support in your PHP installation, like it doesn’t have it installed or something. However, from robologo’s link it looks like he’s got it installed, so I can’t be sure.
The error is happening when it’s trying to grab the help menu, so if you want to go through the trouble you could go into that file and on line 331 is the function that gets the HTML help file. You should be able to comment out the contents and make it return an empty string. That’ll kill the help menu but I think the plugin would work after that.
I’ll try to get in some kind of fix in the next week or two that’ll automatically test to see if DOMDocument is available.
