Patron Card Creator - pdf file not readable
Hi, I exported a batch with a template and layout I created. It created a pdf file for me to print. None of my programs can read it, illustrator, mac preview, photoshop, word, or my internet browser. Is this the only way to make cards is to export in the batch window? Do you have any ideas what could be wrong? I have to make 300 cards for a school. It would be nice if the batch function worked. Thanks so much for any advice! Christy -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Patron-Card-Creator-pdf-file-not-readable-...

We found that it was much easier to export ours to a CSV and then send that off to a company that makes ID cards for $0.40 each. Of course that was after numerous times and hours spent with the built in function. //Riley Sent from my Windows Phone -- Riley Childs Senior Charlotte United Christian Academy Library Services Administrator IT Services Administrator (704) 537-0331x101 (704) 497-2086 rileychilds.net @rowdychildren I use Lync (select External Contact on any XMPP chat client) CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any files transmitted with it are the property of Charlotte United Christian Academy.

Have a look inside the PDF file itself using a text editor. Sometimes if an error occurs on generation, error messages will end up in there rather than the PDF content. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

Maybe there are missing or outdated Perl modules. They are listed on the "About" page. Marc Am 02.04.2015 um 16:15 schrieb ChristyThomas:
